Introduction to basic plotting

and control function in
MATLAB

2
Objective

1. To learn the basic of 2D plotting

2. To learn the basic of 3D plotting
3. To learn basic of control function techniques

3
Basic of 2D plotting
 Graphical representation of dependent and independent
quantity
define X-axis value , and Y-axis value
By Entering in the form of array (same dimension)
A=[1 2 3 4 5 6];
B= [2 4 6 8 10 12];
Plot(A,B)

4
Creating array using step size,
A= [ 1:1:20];
B =2*A;
Plot(A,B)

Or using linspace command

A= linspace(1,20)
B=A.*A;
Plot(A,B)

 Length= [1:1:20]
 Area=Length.*Length;
 plot(Length,Area)

5
Adding Title to the graph
 Length= [1:1:20]
Title
 Area=Length.*Length;
 plot(Length,Area)
 title("Length vs area")

6
Adding x-axis labels
 Length= [1:1:20]
 Area=Length.*Length;
 plot(Length,Area)
 title("Length vs area")
 xlabel("Length")
 ylabel("Area")

X-label

Y-label
7
To change x-label size, style and weight
 Length= [1:1:20]
 Area=Length.*Length;

 plot(Length,Area)

 title("Length vs area",'FontSize’, 24, 'FontName','Times new Roman',

'FontWeight','bold')
xlabel("Length",'FontSize',24, 'FontName','Times new Roman',’FontWeight','bold')
 ylabel("Area",'FontSize',24, 'FontName',

'Times new Roman','FontWeight','bold')

8
Grid on and off
 on

 off

9
To equalize the axis
 axis square

10
 Multiple function on same graph
 I=[2:2:40];
 P1=I.*I.*2; % at 2 k Ω
 P2=I.*I.*3; % at 3 k Ω
 plot(I,P1,I,P2)
or
 I=[2:2:40];
 P1=I.*I.*2; %at 2 k Ω
 P2=I.*I.*3; %at 3 k Ω

 plot(I,P1)
 Hold on
 Plot (I,P2)

11
How to differentiate between
these two plot?

12
To change color of each plot
Code Color
I=[2:2:40];
P1=I.*I.*2; %at 2 kΩ w White
P2=I.*I.*3; %at 3 k Ω
P3=I.*I.*4; %at 3 k Ω k Black
P4=I.*I.*5; %at 3 k Ω
P5=I.*I.*6; %at 3 k Ω b Blue
plot(I,P1,'r')
hold on r Red
plot(I,P2,'k')
hold on c Cyan
plot(I,P3,'b')
hold on g Green
plot(I,P4,'c')
hold on m Magenta
plot(I,P5,'g’)
y Yellow

13
To change the style of line
 I=[2:2:40];
 P1=I.*I.*2; %at 2 kΩ Specifier Line Style
 P2=I.*I.*3; %at 3 k Ω
 P3=I.*I.*4; %at 3 k Ω - Solid line (default)
 P4=I.*I.*5; %at 3 k Ω
 P5=I.*I.*6; %at 3 k Ω -- Dashed line
 plot(I,P1,'-r') : Dotted line
 hold on
 plot(I,P2,'--k') -. Dash-dot line
 hold on
 plot(I,P3,'-.b')
 hold on
 plot(I,P4,':c')

14
Adding marker
Specifier Marker Type

plot(P4,v4,' -cS) '+'
'o'
Plus, sign
Circle
'*' Asterisk
Line '.' Point
style 'x' Cross
'square' or 's' Square
'diamond' or 'd' Diamond
'^' Upward-pointing triangle

Line marker
'v' Downward-pointing triangle
color
'>' Right-pointing triangle
'<' Left-pointing triangle
'pentagram' or 'p' Five-pointed star (pentagram)

'hexagram' or 'h' Six-pointed star (hexagram)

15
Increasing linewidth
 plot(x,y1,'r','linewidth',4)
 Marker Edge color
 plot(x,y1,'rS','linewidth',4,'MarkerEdgeColor','c’)

 Marker size
 plot(x,y1,'rS', 'MarkerSize',10)

16
Single line command
plot(x,y1,'rS','linewidth',4,'MarkerEdgeColor','c’,
'MarkerSize',10)

 Multiple line commnd

plot(t,sin(2*t),'-mo',... 'LineWidth',2,...
'MarkerEdgeColor','k',... 'MarkerFaceColor',[.49 1 .63],...
'MarkerSize',10)

17
Adding legend
legend({'@ 2k\Omega','@ 3k\Omega','@ 4k\
Omega','@ 5k\Omega','@ 6k\Omega')},
'FontSize',20,'TextColor','black','LineWidth',3)

18
Two y-axis in single plot
 yyaxis left
 yyaxis right

19
Multiple plot in single figure
 subplot(2,1,1);
 x = linspace(0,10);
 y1 = sin(x);
 plot(x,y1)
 subplot(2,1,2);
 y2 = sin(5*x);
 plot(x,y2)
Row column

Number of figure
 subplot(2,1,1);
20
Multiple plot
subplot(2,2,1);
x = linspace(-3.8,3.8);
y_cos = cos(x);
plot(x,y_cos);
title('Subplot 1: Cosine')
subplot(2,2,2);
y_poly = 1 - x.^2./2 + x.^4./24;
plot(x,y_poly,'g');
title('Subplot 2: Polynomial')
subplot(2,2,[3,4]);
plot(x,y_cos,'b',x,y_poly,'g');
title('Subplot 3 and 4: Both')

21
Different type of plots

plot
 Area
 Histogram
 Scatter
 stem
 pie
 bar
 barh
 comet etc

22
3D plot
 t = 0:pi/50:10*pi;
 st = sin(t);
 ct = cos(t);
 plot3(st,ct,t)
