Can I plot two figures simultaneously but with less data for the second figure?

Hi there!

Let's say I want to plot the first figure for theta = linspace(0, 2*pi, 1001), but for the second figure I only want to plot for theta = linspace(0,pi,20).

Is it possible to do this automatically?

My current workflow is manually changing the theta = linspace values each time I make the two plots, but I was wondering if there was a solution to automate the plotting in which I do not have to keep switching the values of theta -- so that plotting once gets me both plots correctly.

Thanks!

Well, you can... but it isn't worth the trouble.

N1 = 1001;
N2 = 20;
theta = linspace(0, 2*pi, N1);
[~, pi_idx] = min(abs(theta-pi));
theta2_idx = round(linspace(1, pi_idx, N2));
theta2 = theta(theta2_idx);

plot(theta, Y1, theta2, Y2)

Compare to

theta = linspace(0, 2*pi, 1001);
theta2 = linspace(0, pi, 20);
plot(theta, Y1, theta2, Y2);

Hi Walter!

Ok, let me not think about this anymore, and I'll instead move on and keep working, and just adjust the data, and plot twice. It is a fast enough workflow.

Thanks as always -- goodnight!
