Graphics

Ways to Explore Graphical Data

After determining what type of graph best represents your data, you can further enhance the visual display of information using the tools discussed in this section. These tools enable you to explore data interactively, eliminating the need to set the plethora of graphics properties required to achieve the same results using MATLAB commands.

Once you have achieved the desired results, you can then generate the MATLAB code necessary to reproduce the graph you created interactively. See Example -- Generating M-Code to Reproduce a Graph for more information.

Types of Tools

See the following sections for information on specific tools.

• Data Cursor -- Displaying Data Values Interactively
• Zooming in 2-D and 3-D
• Panning -- Moving Your View of the Graph
• Rotate 3D -- Interactive Rotation of 3-D Views
• Camera Toolbar -- Interacting with 3-D Views
