This MATLAB function creates a 2-D line plot of the data in Y versus the corresponding values in X.

This MATLAB function plots the curve defined by the function y = f(x) over the default interval [-5 5] for x.

By default, MATLAB® clears the figure each time you call a plotting function, resetting the axes and other elements to prepare the new plot. To add plots to an existing figure, use hold on.

Types of MATLAB Plots There are various functions that you can use to plot data in MATLAB ®. This table classifies and illustrates the common graphics functions.

This MATLAB function plots symbolic input f over the default interval [-5 5].

Create Line Plot Create a two-dimensional line plot using the plot function. For example, plot the value of the sine function from 0 to 2 π.

This MATLAB function plots coordinates in 3-D space.
