PLOTTING IN MATLAB

PLOTTING A BASIC GRAPH

• TO CREATE A SIMPLE 2D PLOT, YOU CAN USE THE ‘PLOT’ FUNCTION


• X = 0:0.1:2*PI; % DEFINE X VALUES
• Y = SIN(X); % DEFINE CORRESPONDING Y VALUES
• PLOT(X, Y); % CREATE A BASIC PLOT
CUSTOMIZING PLOT APPEARANCE

• YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR PLOT USING COMMANDS


LIKE ‘TITLE’, ‘XLABEL’, ‘YLABEL’, ‘LEGEND’, ‘GRID’, AND ‘AXIS’. FOR EXAMPLE:
• TITLE('SINE WAVE');
• XLABEL('X-AXIS');
• YLABEL('Y-AXIS');
• LEGEND('SINE FUNCTION');
• GRID ON;
• AXIS([0, 2*PI, -1, 1]);
MULTIPLE PLOTS ON THE SAME GRAPH

• YOU CAN CREATE MULTIPLE PLOTS ON THE SAME GRAPH USING THE HOLD
ON COMMAND AND SPECIFYING DIFFERENT LINE STYLES AND COLORS.
• HOLD ON;
• PLOT(X, SIN(X), 'R--'); % RED DASHED LINE
• PLOT(X, COS(X), 'G-.'); % GREEN DASH-DOT LINE
• HOLD OFF;
SCATTER PLOT

• TO CREATE A SCATTER PLOT, YOU CAN USE THE SCATTER FUNCTION. FOR
EXAMPLE:
• X = RAND(1, 50); % RANDOM X-VALUES
• Y = RAND(1, 50); % RANDOM Y-VALUES
• SCATTER(X, Y);
BAR CHART

• TO CREATE A BAR CHART, USE THE ‘BAR’ FUNCTION. FOR EXAMPLE:


• DATA = [10, 20, 15, 30];
• BAR(DATA);
HISTOGRAM

• YOU CAN CREATE A ;HISTOGRAM; USING THE HISTOGRAM FUNCTION. FOR


EXAMPLE:
• DATA = RANDN(1, 1000); % GENERATE RANDOM DATA
• HISTOGRAM(DATA, 20); % 20 BINS
3D PLOT:

• FOR 3D PLOTS, YOU CAN USE FUNCTIONS LIKE ‘PLOT3’, ‘SCATTER3’, OR


‘SURF’ FOR SURFACE PLOTS. EXAMPLE:
• T = 0:0.1:10;
• X = SIN(T);
• Y = COS(T);
• Z = T;
• PLOT3(X, Y, Z);
CLEARING AND CLOSING PLOTS

• TO CLEAR THE CURRENT FIGURE, YOU CAN USE CLF. TO CLOSE A SPECIFIC
FIGURE, USE CLOSE
ACTIVITY
ACTIVITY TITLE: EXPLORING TEMPERATURE
DATA

• OBJECTIVE:
• CREATE A MATLAB SCRIPT THAT LOADS, ANALYZES, AND VISUALIZES
TEMPERATURE DATA OVER TIME.
MATERIALS:

• MATLAB SOFTWARE
• SAMPLE TEMPERATURE DATA (YOU CAN FIND PUBLIC DATASETS OR CREATE
YOUR OWN)
ACTIVITY STEPS:

• STEP 1: LOAD THE DATA


• OBTAIN TEMPERATURE DATA FOR A SPECIFIC LOCATION. YOU CAN USE A PUBLIC
DATASET OR COLLECT DATA YOURSELF.
• IMPORT THE DATA INTO MATLAB. IF YOUR DATA IS IN A CSV FILE, YOU CAN USE
THE CSVREAD OR READTABLE FUNCTION.
• OR MAKE YOUR OWN DATA MATRIX IN THE SCRIPT FILE
STEP 2: DATA ANALYSIS

• COMPUTE SOME BASIC STATISTICS ON THE DATA, SUCH AS THE MEAN,


MEDIAN, MINIMUM, AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE VALUES.
• CREATE A MATLAB SCRIPT THAT DISPLAYS THESE STATISTICS IN THE
COMMAND WINDOW.
STEP 3: PLOTTING THE DATA

• USE THE PLOT FUNCTION TO CREATE A LINE PLOT OF TEMPERATURE DATA


OVER TIME.
• LABEL THE X-AXIS (TIME) AND THE Y-AXIS (TEMPERATURE).
• CUSTOMIZE THE PLOT BY SPECIFYING LINE STYLES AND COLORS.
STEP 4: ADDING TITLE AND LABELS

• ADD A TITLE TO THE PLOT TO DESCRIBE WHAT THE DATA REPRESENTS (E.G.,
"TEMPERATURE TRENDS OVER TIME").
• LABEL THE X-AXIS AND Y-AXIS TO PROVIDE CONTEXT TO THE VIEWER.
EXTRA

• PLOT ANOTHER DATA WITH LABEL TEMPERATURE2


• THEN MAKE A 3D PLOT ADDING A Z COORDINATE, RESISTANCE
STEP 5: SAVING THE PLOT

• USE THE SAVEAS FUNCTION TO SAVE THE PLOT AS AN IMAGE FILE (E.G., PNG
OR JPEG) FOR FUTURE REFERENCE OR SHARING.
STEP 6: EXPLORATION AND CUSTOMIZATION

• EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT PLOT CUSTOMIZATIONS. CHANGE LINE


STYLES, COLORS, MARKERS, OR ADD GRID LINES TO MAKE THE PLOT MORE
VISUALLY APPEALING AND INFORMATIVE.
STEP 7: INTERPRETATION

• WRITE A BRIEF INTERPRETATION OF THE PLOT. WHAT DO YOU OBSERVE IN


THE TEMPERATURE DATA? ARE THERE ANY TRENDS OR PATTERNS? MAKE
EDUCATED GUESSES ABOUT POTENTIAL REASONS FOR OBSERVED CHANGES.
PROJECT CONCLUSION:

• SUMMARIZE WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED FROM THIS PROJECT, INCLUDING THE


BASICS OF DATA LOADING, ANALYSIS, AND VISUALIZATION IN MATLAB.
• REFLECT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA VISUALIZATION IN UNDERSTANDING
TRENDS AND PATTERNS IN REAL-WORLD DATASETS.
