Graphing with
plot
The command
plot
works on vectors of numerical data. The basic syntax is
plot(X, Y)
where
X
and
Y
are vectors of the same length. For example,
>>X=[123];
>>Y=[465];
>> plot(X, Y)
The command
plot(X, Y)
considers the vectors
X
and
Y
to be lists of the
x
and
y
coordinates of successive points on a graphand joins the points with
line segments. So, in Figure 2-5, MATLAB connects (1
,
4) to (2
,
6) to (3
,
5).
