Plotting and Data Visualization

A. Basic 2D plotting: plot function, customizing titles, labels, legends.


1. Introduction to the plot Function
The plot function in Scilab is used for creating basic 2D line plots. You can use it to plot a
function or data points by providing x and y coordinates.
Example code:
// Define x and y data points
x = 0:0.1:10;
y = sin(x);
// Plot the data
plot(x, y);
This will plot the sine function from 0 to 10.
2. Customizing Titles, Labels, and Legends
a. Adding a Title
To add a title to your plot, use the title function.
Example code:
// Adding a title to the plot
plot(x, y);
title("Sine Wave Plot");
b. Labeling Axes
To add labels to the x-axis and y-axis, use xlabel and ylabel.
Example code:
// Adding x and y labels
plot(x, y);
xlabel("X Values");
ylabel("sin(X)");
c. Adding Legends
To add a legend to the plot, use the legend function.
Example code:
// Adding a legend to the plot
plot(x, y);
legend("Sine Function");
3. Complete Example with Customizations
Here's a full example that combines all these customizations.
Code:
// Define data
x = 0:0.1:10;
y1 = sin(x);
y2 = cos(x);

// Plot the data with customization


plot(x, y1, "b-"); // Blue line for sine
plot(x, y2, "r--"); // Red dashed line for cosine
title("Sine and Cosine Functions");
xlabel("X Values");
ylabel("Function Values");
legend("Sine", "Cosine");
B. Plotting multiple functions and using subplots.
// Define the x range for plotting
x = linspace(-10, 10, 100);

// Create a 2x2 grid for subplots


// Plot 1: Sine function
subplot(2, 2, 1); // Position 1 in a 2x2 grid
plot(x, sin(x));
title("y = sin(x)");

// Plot 2: Cosine function


subplot(2, 2, 2); // Position 2 in a 2x2 grid
plot(x, cos(x));
title("y = cos(x)");

// Plot 3: Exponential function


subplot(2, 2, 3); // Position 3 in a 2x2 grid
plot(x, exp(x));
title("y = exp(x)");

// Plot 4: Hyperbolic Tangent function


subplot(2, 2, 4); // Position 4 in a 2x2 grid
plot(x, tanh(x));
title("y = tanh(x)");
C. Introduction to simple 3D plotting: plot3d and mesh.
// Define the grid of points for the x and y axes
x = linspace(-10, 10, 50); // 50 points between -10 and 10
y = linspace(-10, 10, 50); // 50 points between -10 and 10

// Create a meshgrid for x and y


[X, Y] = meshgrid(x, y);

// Define a function z = f(x, y)


Z = sin(sqrt(X.^2 + Y.^2)) ./ sqrt(X.^2 + Y.^2);

// Plotting using plot3d


clf();
subplot(1, 2, 1); // Divide the plot window into a 1x2 grid and select the first
part
plot3d(x, y, Z);
title("3D Plot using plot3d");
xlabel("X-axis");
ylabel("Y-axis");
zlabel("Z-axis");

// Plotting using mesh


subplot(1, 2, 2); // Select the second part of the plot window
mesh(x, y, Z);
title("3D Mesh Plot");
xlabel("X-axis");
ylabel("Y-axis");
zlabel("Z-axis");

// Show both plots


show_window();
D. Example: Plotting sine and cosine waves with customized properties.
x = 0:0.1:2*%pi;
y1 = sin(x);
y2 = cos(x);
clf();
plot(x, y1, 'r');
e = gce();
e.thickness = 2;
plot(x, y2, 'g--');
e = gce();
e.thickness = 2;

title("Customized Sine and Cosine Waves");


xlabel("X-axis");
ylabel("Y-axis");

legend(["Sine (Red)", "Cosine (Green Dashed)"]);
