Graphics

Editing a Plot

MATLAB formats a graph to provide readability, setting the scale of axes, including tick marks on the axes, and using color and line style to distinguish the plots in the graph. However, if you are creating presentation graphics, you may want to change this default formatting or add descriptive labels, titles, legends and other annotations to help explain your data.

MATLAB supports two ways to edit the plots you create.

• Using the mouse to select and edit objects interactively
• Using MATLAB functions at the command-line or in an M-file
