A convenient way to plot data from a table is to pass the table to the plot3 function and specify the variables to plot. Create vectors x, y, and t, and put the vectors in a table.

This MATLAB function creates a 2-D line plot of the data in Y versus the corresponding values in X.

By adding a third input argument to the plot function, you can plot the same variables using a red dashed line.

Types of MATLAB Plots There are various functions that you can use to plot data in MATLAB ®. This table classifies and illustrates the common graphics functions.

This example shows how to create 3-D line plots in MATLAB using the plot3 function.

Create plots programmatically using graphics functions or interactively using the Plots tab at the top of the MATLAB ® desktop. For illustrations of some of the types of plots you can create …

Creating 3-D Plots This example shows how to create a variety of 3-D plots in MATLAB®.

Line plots are a useful way to compare sets of data or track changes over time. You can plot the data in a 2-D or 3-D view using either a linear or a logarithmic scale. Also, you can plot …

Create Line Plot Create a two-dimensional line plot using the plot function. For example, plot the value of the sine function from 0 to 2 π.

To create plots with multiple x - and y -axes, multiple colorbars, or to create a plot with a discontinuous axis that is broken into intervals, use the tiledlayout function.
