%Define limits of plotting
X = -5:0.1:5;
Y = -5:0.1:5;
%2-d Mean and covariance matrix
MeanVec = [0 0];
CovMatrix = [1 0.6; 0.6 2];
%Get the 1-d PDFs for the "walls"
Z_x = normpdf(X,MeanVec(1), sqrt(CovMatrix(1,1)));

%Get the 2-d samples for the "floor"

%Get the sigma ellipses by transform a circle by the cholesky decomp

%Plot the samples on the "floor"

%Plot the histograms on the walls from the data in the middle
[n_x, xout] = hist(Samples(:,1),20);%Creates 20 bars

%Now plot the other histograms on the wall
