Plots in MATLAB

Easiest way to plot Syntax: ezplot(fun) ezplot(fun,[min,max]) ezplot(fun2) ezplot(fun2,[xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax]) ezplot(fun) plots the expression fun(x) over the default domain -2pi < x < 2pi. ezplot(fun,[min,max]) plots fun(x) over the domain: min < x < max. ezplot(fun2) plots fun2(x,y)= 0 over the default domain -2pi < x <2pi, -2pi < y < 2pi.

Example:

>> ezplot('x^3-x',[-5 5])

>>ezplot('x^3-2*x')

x 3-2 x 250 200

plot command: Linear 2-D plot Syntax: plot(X,Y,linespec, PropertyName',PropertyValue, )

LineWidth - specifies the width (in points) of the line.

MarkerEdgeColor - specifies the color of the marker or the edge color for filled markers (circle, square, diamond, pentagram, hexagram, and the four triangles). MarkerFaceColor - specifies the color of the face of filled markers.
MarkerSize - specifies the size of the marker in units of points.

Examples:
x=1:50; y=sin(x*pi/10)+cos(x*pi/10); plot(x,y)

x=1:50; y1=cos(x*pi/10); y2=sin(x*pi/10); plot(x,y1,x,y2)

Plotting multiple plots on the same figure


x=1:50; y1=cos(x*pi/10); y2=sin(x*pi/10); plot(x,y1,k) hold on plot(x,y2,r )

plot(x,y1,k,x,y2,r)

Editing plots with editplot

Syntax plotedit on plotedit off

subplot command Syntax:


Notes:

subplot(N,M,i)

N= number of rows M= number of columns i= current plot number

*This function does NOT create a plot *It HAS to be used BEFORE the plot function !!!! 4 plots: in a 2x2 array = 2-by-2 matrix

2 plots: one above the other = 2-by-1 matrix

Subplot(2,1,1)

(2,2,1)

(2,2,2)

Subplot(2,1,2)

(2,2,3)

(2,2,4)

Plotting multiple plots on the same figure


x=1:50; y1=cos(x*pi/10); y2=1000*y1; plot(x,y1,x,y2,k); grid on

subplot(2,1,1) plot(x,y1); grid on subplot(2,1,2) plot(x,y2,k); grid on

Plot features: xlabel, ylabel, title, grid


x=1:50; y1=cos(x*pi/10); y2=sin(x*pi/10); plot(x,y1,x,y2) xlabel(x); ylabel(y); title(Example) grid on Plot features: text and legend text(15,0.8,y1) text(20,-0.2,y2) legend(y1,y2)

plotyy 2-D line plots with y-axes on both left and right side Syntax plotyy(X1,Y1,X2,Y2)

plotyy(X1,Y1,X2,Y2) plots X1 versus Y1 with y-axis labeling on the left and plots X2 versus Y2 with y-axis labeling on the right.

Example: >>x=0:0.05:5; y=sin(x.^2); z=cos(x.^2); plotyy(x,y,x,z)

Three dimensional plots


Three dimensional line plots the simplest form is

plot(x,y,z) x,y,z are arrays of equal size containing the locations of data points to plot.
Example: x(t)= e-0.2tcos (2t)

y(t)= e-0.2tsin(2t) motion of an insect


t=0:0.1:10; x=exp(-0.2*t).*cos(2*t); y=exp(-0.2*t).*sin(2*t); plot(x,y) title('\bf 2D plot') xlabel('\bfx') ylabel('\bfy') grid on

Three dimensional plots


instead we could plot the variables with plot3() to preserve the time information as well as the 2D position of the object. plot3(x,y,t) t=0:0.1:10; x=exp(-0.2*t).*cos(2*t); y=exp(-0.2*t).*sin(2*t); plot3(x,y,t) title('\bf 3D plot') xlabel('\bfx') ylabel('\bfy') zlabel('\bftime') grid on

Three dimensional plots


surface, Mesh and contour plots: such kind of plots represent data that is a function of 2D variables. a user must create three arrays of equal size;

Commands: mesh(x,y,z) surf(x,y,z) contour(x,y,z)

creates a mesh or wireframe plot where x,y and z are 2D arrays of containing x,y,z values at every point, respectively. creates a surface plot, creates a contour plot,

[x,y]=meshgrid(xstart:xinc:xend, ystart:yinc:yend) easily create x and y arrays required for 3D plots to create a 3D plot use meshgrid to create the arrays of x and y values then evaluate the function to plot at each of x,y pairs. finally call the above mentioned functions to create plot.

Three dimensional plots


Example: create the mesh plot of the following function

z ( x, y) e
over the interval [x,y]=meshgrid(-4:0.1:4);

0.5[ x 2 0.5( x y ) 2 ]

4 x 4 and 4 y 4

z= exp(-0.5*(x.^2+0.5*(x-y).^2)); mesh(x,y,z);
