13. Adding Text to the plot…. text(2.5,0.7,'sin(x)') %Adding text to the specific %location gtext('cos(x)') %Adding text to the location %you select with a mouse click Department of Mechanical Engineering, LSU Session III

14. In MATLAB…. Department of Mechanical Engineering, LSU Session III

15. Adding Legend…. legend('sin','cos') %This command line adds legend %to the plot. The order of %‘string1’,’string2’ should be %the same as it appears in the %plot(x,y,x,z) command line Department of Mechanical Engineering, LSU Session III

17. Using hold command…. x=linspace(0,2*pi,40); y=sin(x); plot(x,y) hold on grid z=cos(x); plot(x,z) hold off Department of Mechanical Engineering, LSU Session III

18. Other useful commands…. loglog: just as plot gives linear coordinate system, loglog gives log-log scale system semilogx: semilog scale plot, x-axis logarithmic semilogy: semilog scale plot, y-axis logarithmic axis([xmin xmax ymin ymax]): set the maximum and minimum values of the axes using values given in the row vector Department of Mechanical Engineering, LSU Session III

19. Using subplot command…. x=linspace(0,2*pi,40); y=sin(x); z=cos(x); a=sin(2*x); b=sin(4*x); subplot(2,2,1) plot(x,y),axis([0 2*pi -1 1]),title('sin(x)') subplot(2,2,2) plot(x,z),axis([0 2*pi -1 1]),title('cos(x)') subplot(2,2,3) plot(x,a),axis([0 2*pi -1 1]),title('sin(2x)') subplot(2,2,4) plot(x,b),axis([0 2*pi -1 1]),title('sin(4x)') Department of Mechanical Engineering, LSU Session III

20. In MATLAB…. Department of Mechanical Engineering, LSU Session III

21. 3D Graphics…. The plot command from the 2-D graphics can be extended into 3-D graphics. For example, command plot3 works the same way as plot except plot3 requires three arguments. t=0:pi/50:10*pi; plot3(sin(t),cos(t),t); Department of Mechanical Engineering, LSU Session III
