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.

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.

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.

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 symbolic input f over the default interval [-5 5].

This MATLAB function plots coordinates in 3-D space.
