MATLAB: PLOTYY Label Vertical Axis

plotyy

figure (7)
plotyy(x1-11100,y1,x2,y2, 'stairs', 'plot')

Is 'stairs' 'plot' really necessary? What do these represent in plotyy?

title('Force vs. Time')
xlabel('Time (s)'); 
 How would I label the left and right vertical axis?

Best Answer

'stairs' in that position instructs plotyy() to call stairs() plot for the first set of data. Use whichever plotting routine is appropriate for your data representation.

To label the two axes independently, record the output of plotyy()

ax = plotyy(x1-11100,y1,x2,y2, 'stairs', 'plot');

Then index result to specify which axis you want

ylabel(ax(1), 'Major Force');
ylabel(ax(2), '2 Star General Force');

MATLAB: Does the PLOTYY(X1,Y1,X2,Y2,’function1’,’function2′) command use function2(X2,Y2) to plot the data for the right axes

The HELP text for the PLOTYY function should read as follows:

 PLOTYY(X1,Y1,X2,Y2,'function1','function2') uses function1(X1,Y1) to plot the data for the left axis and function2(X2,Y2) to plot the data for the right axis.

MATLAB: How can i clear a plot that drawn in a subplot

Use cla() instead of clf() and clear the axes instead of deleting the curve.

h1 = subplot(2,1,1);
hold on
x1=(0:0.01:10);
y1=sin(x1);
p1=plot(x1,y1);
h2 = subplot(2,1,2)
hold on
x1=(0:0.01:10);
y2=sin(x1)+cos(x1);
p2=plot(x1,y2,'Color','r');
cla(h2)
cla(h1)
