Document Summary
The type of graph depends on the nature of the data and what you want to reveal about the data. 2-d graphs: line, bar, histogram, and pie graphs. There are two basic ways to create matlab graphs: Use the command interface to enter commands in the command window or create plotting programs. Editing the graph components graphs are composed of objects, which have properties you can change. These properties affect the way the various graph components look and behave. For example, the axes used to define the coordinate system of the graph has properties that define the limits of each axis, the scale, color, etc. The line used to create a line graph has properties such as color, type of marker used at each data point (if any), line style, etc. Annotating graphs annotations are the text, arrows, callouts, and other labels added to graphs to help viewers see what is important about the data.
