Incorrect autoscaling during plot command in matlab

5 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello guys, first time poster. I just had a question about my code- I am just trying to plot some data that I imported from a csv file, but the plot itself leaves voids.
I haven't done anything to change the settings.
The code:
clear all; close all; clc
t = load('sampledata.csv');
time=t(1:125000,1);
gage=t(1:125000,2);
plot(time,gage)
xlabel('Sample Number')
ylabel('volts')
title('{\bf Oscilloscope Data}')
below is the image i got from the plot. http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/4417/oscilloscope.jpg
any help or advice will be appreciated. thanks!

To all, thanks for the response! @walter- how did you manage to embed the image? I wasn't able to find the command to embed the image.
@fangjun- I actually mean't that the plot axes stretches, so to say, farther than the data needs. Especially if you see at -.5, there is an empty space where there are no values. Same follows for the top and bottom axes.

To embed an image, use a separate paragraph and start it with << followed immediately (no space after << ) by the URL to the image directly, followed immediately (no space after URL) by >>
The tricky part is often in finding the direct URL for the image, especially if you do not have an account on the system being used to host the image. For situations like that, I display the image in my browser, position my cursor over it, right-click, and choose "Copy image location". That URL is then the one I paste in to the posting.

That figure looks OK to me I guess. "Guess" since I dont know what your data going in was...
What points are you missing?
Do you want a tighter fit of the plot around the points? Then you should could do:
axis tight
Beside that not much to go on here.

Sorry for not being so clear guys.
What I would like to have change from this plot will be so that the data axis will be from -10 to 10 on the y axis, and ~.4 to 2.5 for the x axis(just to encompass the data), automatically, after I plot.
This is probably a rather simple problem with a VERY easy solution- any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

Thanks Bjorn-
I actually tried "axis tight", and this ALMOST is what I need.. not quite, because I noticed that some data gets cut off from the plot. Still looking- thanks for the suggestion though.

set(gca, 'Xlim', [min(time),max(time)], 'YLim', [min(gage),max(gage)])
