I'd like to draw three graphs like these ones below:
Is there an easy way to draw these dashed areas?
This is what I have so far:
from the following code:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
Damping:\\
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.6]
\draw[->] (-4.5,0) -- (1.5,0);
\draw[->] (0,-4.5) -- (0,4.5);
\foreach \x in {-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1}
\draw (\x cm,1.5pt) -- (\x cm,-1.5pt);
\foreach \y in {-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4}
\draw (1.5pt,\y cm) -- (-1.5pt,\y cm);
\draw[thick,red] (0,0)--(-4,4);
\draw[thick,red] (0,0)--(-4,-4);
\end{tikzpicture}
Settling Time:\\
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.6]
\draw[->] (-4.5,0) -- (1.5,0);
\draw[->] (0,-4.5) -- (0,4.5);
\foreach \x in {-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1}
\draw (\x cm,1.5pt) -- (\x cm,-1.5pt);
\foreach \y in {-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4}
\draw (1.5pt,\y cm) -- (-1.5pt,\y cm);
\draw[thick,blue] (-1,-4)--(-1,4);
\end{tikzpicture}
Frequency:\\
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.6]
\draw[->] (-4.5,0) -- (1.5,0);
\draw[->] (0,-4.5) -- (0,4.5);
\foreach \x in {-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1}
\draw (\x cm,1.5pt) -- (\x cm,-1.5pt);
\foreach \y in {-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4}
\draw (1.5pt,\y cm) -- (-1.5pt,\y cm);
\draw[thick,orange] (-4,4)--(1,4);
\draw[thick,orange] (-4,-4)--(1,-4);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
Best Answer
TikZ offers you a library named patterns. To use it you need
\usetikzlibrary{patterns}
in your preamble.In your case for the first case you can do
So the key is to have more or less a defined surface. For case #2 and #3,
\fill[pattern=north west lines] (0,1) rectangle (2,2);
with adapted coordinates would work.Of course there are more defined patterns if you refer to the manual (http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf).
