MATLAB Graphical Programming: Practical hands-on MATLAB solutions

MATLAB enables you to work with its graphics capabilities in almost all areas of the experimental sciences and engineering. The commands that MATLAB implements in job related graphics are quite useful and are very efficient.

MATLAB has functions for working with two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics, statistical graphs, curves and surfaces in explicit, implicit, parametric and polar coordinates. It also works perfectly with twisted curves, surfaces, volumes and graphical interpolation. MATLAB Graphical Programming addresses all these issues by developing the following topics:This book is a reference designed to give you a simple syntax example of the commands and to graph it so that you can see the result for:

• Two dimensional graphics
• Statistical graphics
• Curves in explicit coordinates
• Curves in parametric coordinates
• Curves in polar coordinates
• Logarithmic and semi-logarithmic plots
• Bar graphs and histograms sectors
• Three-dimensional graphics
• Twisted curves and surfaces
• Graphs of surfaces, meshes and contours
• Graphs of surfaces in explicit coordinates
• parametric surfaces
• Viewing volumes and specialized graphics
• Special commands for graphics

What you’ll learn

You will learn to:

• Program MATLAB to take advantage of its graphics functionality
• Create two and three dimensional graphics in MATLAB
• Create volumetric and other specialized graphics

Who this book is for

This book is for those who deal in graphics at many levels wanting to graph and analyze the functions/problems graphically.
