In this lecture we learned about: Function plots, three dimensional plotting, surface plotting, mesh plot, surf plot, contour plot, editing in plot in graphical window, making plot from workspace window. | Lecture 25 Recap Function Plots Three Dimensional Plotting Surface Plotting Mesh Plot Surf Plot Contour Plot Editing in Plot in Graphical Window Making Plot from Workspace Window Saving Plots There are several ways to save plots created in MATLAB: If the plot are created with programming code stored in an M-fi le, simplyrerunning the code will re-create the figure The figure can also be saved from the file menu, using the Save As . . . option. Several choices will be opened: The figure can be saved as a .fig fi le, which is a MATLAB -specific fi e format. To retrieve the figure, just double-click on the file name in the current folder. You can do the same thing programmatically with the code open The figure can be saved in a number of different standard graphics formats, such as jpeg ( .jpg ) and enhanced metafile ( .emf ). These versions of the figure can be inserted into other documents, such as a Word document Select Edit from the menu bar, then select copy figure, | Lecture 25 Recap Function Plots Three Dimensional Plotting Surface Plotting Mesh Plot Surf Plot Contour Plot Editing in Plot in Graphical Window Making Plot from Workspace Window Saving Plots There are several ways to save plots created in MATLAB: If the plot are created with programming code stored in an M-fi le, simplyrerunning the code will re-create the figure The figure can also be saved from the file menu, using the Save As . . . option.

In addition to x – y plots, MATLAB offers a variety of plotting .
