Plotting data from a mat file that is a struct
显示 更早的评论
I am challenged by structures and cells, not being a programmer by design. I have a mat struct, something like filename.mat with various arrays. Let's say there is one array called counts and another called times, with a single column of numbers each. How does one plot one array against another? Specifically how do you pick up the array you want out of several arrays in that mat file? Apologies if that is too simple a question for some of you.

S = load('filename.mat');
plot(S.times,S.counts);

You didn't store counts and times separately. You stored filename, and filename was a structure that you created with members/fields called times and counts. See my answer on how to use fieldnames to check on whether or not fields exists and which ones actually do exist.

Nick, I don't know how you created the MAT file but if you created it by saving two variables times and counts, what I have will work. Here is a full example:
times = 1:10;
counts = randperm(10);
save('filename.mat','times','counts');
clear
S = load('filename.mat');
plot(S.times,S.counts);

% Read in structure from mat file.
storedStructure = load('filename.mat');
% For fun, let's see what fields this structure has.
fieldNames = fieldnames(storedStructure) % No semicolon
% You should see counts and times listed in the command window
% if they were actually stored there.
% Tell user whether or not counts is there.
hasField = isfield(storedStructure, 'counts');
if hasField
uiwait(helpdlg('Your structure has a field called counts'));
else
uiwait(helpdlg('Your structure DOES NOT HAVE a field called counts'));
end
% Tell user whether or not times is there.
hasField = isfield(storedStructure, 'times');
if hasField
uiwait(helpdlg('Your structure has a field called times'));
else
uiwait(helpdlg('Your structure DOES NOT HAVE a field called times'));
end
Tell me what you observe in the command window and in the message boxes.

See the FAQ http://matlab.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#What_is_a_cell_array.3F for a good description of cell arrays.

So you'll need:
S.filename.times %?

That's what I would think Sean. I agree with you Nick that using filename as the name of a structure that contains fields that have nothing to do with a filename is very confusing. Personally I would bring it up to the publisher and let them know.
