Types of MATLAB Plots - MATLAB & Simulink

The document describes different types of 2D and 3D plots that can be created in MATLAB. It provides tables that classify common MATLAB plotting functions into different categories like line graphs, bar graphs, and scatter plots for 2D plotting, and surface graphs, volumetric graphs, and mesh graphs for 3D plotting.

Two-Dimensional Plotting Functions


Three-Dimensional Plotting Functions

MATLAB offers a variety of data plotting functions plus a set of GUI tools to create and modify graphic
displays. The following two tables classify and illustrate the kinds of plots you can create with MATLAB.
They include line, bar, area, direction and vector field, radial, and scatter graphs.
When you execute a plotting function, MATLAB clears and replaces the current graph, if one exists. The
function resets axis limits and other properties so that each graph is displayed appropriately.

Three-Dimensional Plotting Functions


This table shows MATLAB 3-D and volume plotting functions. Some functions generate 3-D data (cylinder,
ellipsoid, sphere) that you can use to generate geometric shapes on which you can superimpose your
data. Click any picture in the table to see the documentation for that function.
