Matlab Module 2

This document provides an overview of creating and plotting simple graphs in MATLAB, including commands for 2-D and 3-D plots, labeling axes, and printing plots. It also covers the steps to create function files and basic operations with arrays and matrices, including indexing and modifying elements. Examples are given for plotting functions and manipulating 2-D arrays.

Creating and Plotting simple plots
• The MATLAB commands used are
• plot creates a 2-D line plot,

A
D
• axis changes the aspect ratio of the x-axis and the y-axis,

AD
• xlabel annotates the x-axis,

U
• ylabel annotates the y-axis,

VT
• title puts a title on the plot, and
• print prints a hard copy of the plot
Plot y = sin x, 0<x<2pi, taking 100 linearly spaced points in the given
interval. Label the axes and put "Plot created by your name" in the title.

A
D
AD
• x=linspace ( 0 , 2*pi , 100) ;
• plot (x , sin(x) )

U
VT
• xlabel(‘ time period ‘)
• ylabel ( ‘ amplitude‘)
• title ( ' Plot created by your name’ )
• Line styles: Make the same plot as in Exercise 1, but rather than
displaying the graph as a curve show the unconnected data points. To

A
display the data points with small circles, use plot (x , y, 'o').

D
AD
• plot (x , sin (x) ,x, sin(x) , ' o’)
• xlabel('x ' )

U
• ylabel ( ' s in (x) ’)
VT
• Space curve: Use the command plot3 (x , y, z) to plot the circular helix
x(t) = sin t, y(t) = cos t, z (t) = t, 0 < t >20

A
D
AD
• t=linspace ( 0 , 20 , 100) ;
• plot3 (sin (t ) , co s (t) ,t)

Steps to create function file
[Link] 1: Create a file and write commands using the function
keyword.

A
[Link] 2: Save the function file with the same name as the

D
function. Here I have saved the file with the name solve.m.

AD
[Link] 3: Use the function in Command Video by providing

U
suitable argument/s.

VT
% function to calculate sin(x)+cos(x) where x is in radians
% Here solve is the name of the function which
% will return x and takes an argument a

A
function x = solve(a)

D
AD
x = sin(a) + cos(a);

Working with arrays and matrices
• A 2-D array is a list of numbers arranged in rows and columns.
• If you form an array by writing numbers in rows, all rows must have

A
the same number of entries.

D
• Same is true for columns. An array with m rows and n columns is

AD
called an m x n array and it has a total of m · n entries.

U
• An element of the array is recognized by its location-its row number

VT
and column number.
• These row and column identifiers are called indices of the matrix.
Thus A( i, j) refers to a specific element of matrix A located in the ith
row and jth column.
• >>A= [l 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 8]
• A=

A
1 2 3

D
4 5 6
7 8 8

AD
• >> A( 2,3)

U
Ans =
6

VT
>> B = A ( 2:3,1 :3)
B=

4 5 6
7 8 8
• >> B= A(2:3, : )

A
• B=

D
4 5 6

AD
7 8 9

U
VT
• >> B(:,2)= []
• B=
4 6
