MATLAB: How to make the cycle range symmetric around zero in rainflow

Question

Hi All

I am using

rainflow( x, 'ext') 

but the cycle ranges are not symmetric around zero. How can I make matlab do that ?

This is what I get from RainFlow command :

As you see it seems like you are watching the graph from behind

instead , normally this is what I see as a histogram on internet you can see how the Cycle mean and Cycle average are swapped

Answer 1

After all that (and deleting my first Answer because it was not solving the problem), the solution appears to have turned out to be relatively simple.

This uses an example from the rainflow documentation (specifically, Cycle Counts of Timetable). Try it with your own data:

fs = 100;
t = seconds(0:1/fs:100-1/fs)';
x = randn(size(t));
TT = timetable(t,x);
figure
rainflow(TT)                                        % Original
figure
rainflow(TT)
set(gca, 'View',[60 30])                            % Rotated Using A Simple View Call To The Last Plotted Axes

producing this originally:

and after the rotation:

Choose the View vector that produces the result you want.
