Question

There are many different line specifications that can be used when plotting. Using the documentation at http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/linespec.html, answer the following questions:

a) List 2 different line style specifiers, and the line style that they produce (e.g., - is the default solid line).

b) List 2 different color style specifiers and the color they produce (e.g., k is used to specify black).

c) List 2 different marker specifiers and the markers the produce (e.g., p is used to specify pentagram markers)

3) Using your answers to questions 1 and 2, write the MATLAB code to plot y = x2. Be sure to use some of the line specifications that you discussed for question 2.

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER:

a)

- produces solid line e.g. plot(x,y,'-');
: produces dotted line e.g. plot(x,y,':');

b)

b produces blue line e.g. plot(x,y,'b');
g produces green line e.g. plot(x,y,'g');

c)

+ produces +mark e.g. plot(x,y,'+');
* produces * mark e.g. plot(x,y,'*');

3)

x = [1:0.05:3];

y = x.^2;

plot(x,y,'g*:');

The above statement plots the graph in green colour, with * mark at data points and dotted line to join those points.
