PLOT   Linear plot.

    PLOT(X,Y) plots vector Y versus vector X. If X or Y is a matrix,

    then the vector is plotted versus the rows or columns of the matrix,

    whichever line up.  If X is a scalar and Y is a vector, disconnected

    line objects are created and plotted as discrete points vertically at

    X.

 

    PLOT(Y) plots the columns of Y versus their index.

    If Y is complex, PLOT(Y) is equivalent to PLOT(real(Y),imag(Y)).

    In all other uses of PLOT, the imaginary part is ignored.

 

    Various line types, plot symbols and colors may be obtained with

    PLOT(X,Y,S) where S is a character string made from one element

    from any or all the following 3 columns:

    For example, PLOT(X,Y,'c+:') plots a cyan dotted line with a plus

    at each data point; PLOT(X,Y,'bd') plots blue diamond at each data

    point but does not draw any line.

 

    PLOT(X1,Y1,S1,X2,Y2,S2,X3,Y3,S3,...) combines the plots defined by

    the (X,Y,S) triples, where the X's and Y's are vectors or matrices

    and the S's are strings.

 

    For example, PLOT(X,Y,'y-',X,Y,'go') plots the data twice, with a

    solid yellow line interpolating green circles at the data points.

 

    The PLOT command, if no color is specified, makes automatic use of

    the colors specified by the axes ColorOrder property.  The default

    ColorOrder is listed in the table above for color systems where the

    default is blue for one line, and for multiple lines, to cycle

    through the first six colors in the table.  For monochrome systems,

    PLOT cycles over the axes LineStyleOrder property.

 

    If you do not specify a marker type, PLOT uses no marker.

    If you do not specify a line style, PLOT uses a solid line.

    The X,Y pairs, or X,Y,S triples, can be followed by

    parameter/value pairs to specify additional properties

    of the lines. For example, PLOT(X,Y,'LineWidth',2,'Color',[.6 0 0])

    will create a plot with a dark red line width of 2 points.
