MATLAB: How to save plots so that they are in the same graph for different conditions

MATLABplot

Hi,

I need to generate plots for four different conditions. So I will be having four curves on the whole. Now I get a plot for the first condition, and when I change the condition, I obviously get a different plot but I need to make the first plot remain in the same graph. Similarly for the third and fourth graphs (or conditions).

Please someone tell me how to do this. I have tried the 'hold on' command, nothing happens.

Thanks.

See the documentation on subplot. It will give you as many plots as you want in the same figure.

If you want them all in the same set of axes, and hold did not work, post your code so we can see what you did and what the problem is.

Later, with posted code available...

One problem is that you’re not telling it to plot the correct vector. See if changing the plot command to:

plot(s_x_index, f_x_save, 'x')

improves things.

MATLAB: How to remove outliers from a linear fit

My idea:

x = 1:100;                                                      % Create Data

y = randi(99, 1, 100);                                          % Create Data
nr_pts_to_remove = fix(length(x)/2);
for k1 = 1:nr_pts_to_remove
    dm = [ones(size(x(:))) x(:)];                               % Design Matrix
    b = dm\y(:);                                                % Estimate Parameters
    yfit = dm*b;                                                % Fit Data
    [~,idx] = max(abs(y(:) - yfit));                            % Index Of Maximum Residual
    x(idx) = [];                                                % Remove Maximum ‘x’
    y(idx) = [];                                                % Remove Maximum ‘y’
end
xv = linspace(min(x), max(x));                                  % Create Vectors For Plot

yv = [ones(size(xv(:))) xv(:)]*b;                               % Create Vectors For Plot
figure(1)
plot(x, y, 'pg', 'MarkerFaceColor','g')
hold on
plot(xv, yv, '-r')
hold off
grid

The ‘(:)’ creates column vectors for all data and other variables.

MATLAB: Flipping y-axis of findpeaks-plot

You may be making this too difficult.

Example —

a = linspace(0, 4*pi);
y = sin(a);
[pks,pkloc] = findpeaks( y,a);                          % Maxima
[vls,vlloc] = findpeaks(-y,a);                          % Minima

figure(1)
plot(a, y, '-b')
hold on
plot(pkloc, pks, '^r', 'MarkerFaceColor','r')
plot(vlloc, -vls, 'vg', 'MarkerFaceColor','g')
hold off
grid
axis([xlim    -1.1  1.1])
legend('Data', 'Peaks', 'Valleys')

Note that to plot the valleys (‘vls’) or minima correctly, simply negate them in the plot call. So to find them, use:

[vls,vlloc] = findpeaks(-y,a);                          % Minima

and to plot them or use them in other calculations correctly, negate them again to restore their correct values:

plot(vlloc, -vls, 'vg', 'MarkerFaceColor','g')
