“plot” function for some repetitive X values

Hi, I would like to use “plot” function for some repetitive X values e.g: 1:10 and again 10:1 but the Y values are differ(in one curve).

I want to show effect of increasing value [1:10] and the decreasing value [10:1] in one figure.*

Could you please let me know what the solution is?

Thanks,

[Deepak Sharma]

I need help in below plot, my xaxis values = [0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0]. i want to unfold this graph so that my xaxis must follow the original trend ie 0-->90-->0.

I am not sure if I understand correctly.. is this what you are looking for?

myTicks = 1:20;
y = rand(1,length(myTicks));
plot(myTicks,y)
set(gca, 'xTick', myTicks);

% Modifying Tick Labels in X-axis
myTicks(myTicks > 10) = 10:-1:1;
set(gca, 'xTicklabel', myTicks)

----------

Update after comment.

Let X be a matrix with two columns and the values in your comment:

plot(X(:,2))
set(gca, 'xTick', 1:size(X,1))
set(gca, 'xTicklabel','')

h = get(gca, 'XLabel');
set(h,'Units','data'); 
pos = get(h,'Position'); 
y = pos(2);

hLabels = zeros(1,size(X,1));
labels = num2str(X(:,1));
for i = 1:size(labels,1) 
  hLabels(i) = text(i,y,labels(i,:)); 
end 
set(hLabels,'Rotation',45,'HorizontalAlignment','right')

Or you can do:

plot(X(:,2))
set(gca, 'xTick', 1:size(X,1))
set(gca, 'xTicklabel', num2str(X(:,1)))

and use XTICKLABEL_ROTATE to rotate the X-labels.

Thanks very good approach, but if the X values (and Y value)are as follows what is your suggestion:

Xvalue: YValue:

Let me update my answer following this comment of yours...

[KU]

Hi,

This is a simple a question maybe! When I run your codes It has one error message as follows could you please let me how can i fix it,

??? Error using ==> set

Invalid root property: 'Rotation'

Thanks,

[Lucas García]

Are you sure you are typing it correctly? Copy and paste this example. It should work fine.

X = rand(10,2);

plot(X(:,2))

set(gca, 'xTick', 1:size(X,1))

set(gca, 'xTicklabel','')

h = get(gca, 'XLabel');

set(h,'Units','data');

pos = get(h,'Position');

y = pos(2);

hLabels = zeros(1,size(X,1));

labels = num2str(X(:,1));

for i = 1:size(labels,1)

hLabels(i) = text(i,y,labels(i,:));

end

set(hLabels,'Rotation',45,'HorizontalAlignment','right')

[KU]

Thanks a lot Lucas, it works,

Answer 2

[Fangjun Jiang]

What effect do you want? You can always split them and plot them separately.

x=1:10;
y1=2*x+10;
y2=x.^2;
x=[x x];y=[y1 y2];
plot(x,y)

If you don't like the line from x=10 to x=1, replace the last line with,

plot(x,y,'r*');

To split:

idx1=1:10;
idx2=11:20;
figure;
plot(x(idx1),y(idx1),'r',x(idx2),y(idx2),'b');

[KU]

Thanks for the reply, but it‘s not the proper graph for my work, actually I want to show effect of increasing value [1:10] and the decreasing value [10:1] in one figure. To this aim, the [10:1] values are located after [1:10].

I will be grateful if you give me any solution.

Answer 3

[Walter Roberson]

x = 1:10;
plot(x, y1, x, y2)

[KU]

Thanks, but as I added the above comment, the value are [1:10 10:10] and it is one curve.

P.S. I edited my question as well.
