This MATLAB function creates a 2-D line plot of the data in Y versus the corresponding values in X.

This MATLAB function plots the curve defined by the function y = f(x) over the default interval [-5 5] for x.

By default, MATLAB® clears the figure each time you call a plotting function, resetting the axes and other elements to prepare the new plot. To add plots to an existing figure, use hold on.

Types of MATLAB Plots There are various functions that you can use to plot data in MATLAB ®. This table classifies and illustrates the common graphics functions.

Create Line Plot Create a two-dimensional line plot using the plot function. For example, plot the value of the sine function from 0 to 2 π.

Categories Line Plots Line plots, log plots, and function plots Data Distribution Plots Histograms, pie charts, word clouds, and more Discrete Data Plots Bar graphs, scatter plots, and more Geographic …

This MATLAB function plots symbolic input f over the default interval [-5 5].

This MATLAB function plots coordinates in 3-D space.

Specify Plot Colors MATLAB ® creates plots using a default set of colors. The default colors provide a clean and consistent look across the different plots you create. You can customize the colors if you …

Many plotting functions have a single argument for specifying the color, the line style, and the marker. For example, the plot function has an optional linespec argument for specifying one or more of these …
