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 Contents at a Glance 3 Contents 190 About the Author 193 About the Technical Reviewer 194 Introduction 4 Chapter 1: MATLAB Introduction and the Working Environment 5 1.1 MATLAB Introduction 5 1.1.1 Algorithms and Applications Development 6 1.1.2 Data Access and Analysis 9 1.1.3 Data Visualization 10 1.1.4 Numeric Calculation 12 1.1.5 Results Publication and Applications Distribution 13 1.2 MATLAB Working Environment 14 1.3 Help in MATLAB 19 1.4 Numerical Calculations with MATLAB 23 1.5 Symbolic Calculations with MATLAB 25 1.6 Graphics with MATLAB 26 1.7 MATLAB and Programming 30 Chapter 2: Two-Dimensional Graphics.
