Convert decimal and negative values to integers

There are x and y coordinates that I need to convert to integer values while preserving the meaning of the graph
a = 0:pi/100:2*pi;
x=cos(a);
y = sin(x);
plot(x,y) % first graph
% plot(a,y) % second graph
Thanks in advance

Ok. So, What is it that you are trying to do in the first place? How did you come up with the conversions you mentioned above?

Something like this, perhaps?
a = 0:pi/100:2*pi;
x=cos(a);
y = sin(x);
fcn=@(z)round(rescale(z,0,intmax('uint16')));
plot(fcn(a),fcn(y))

Since all your values are between -1 and 1, you need a method to discretize your data to some arbitrary (but repeatable) indices. You have two general options:
- Have a linear lookup table. This will map all numbers lineraly to the closest integer.
- Have a non-linear lookup table. This allows you to decide what data ranges should have more precision.
Below I will implement the simplest version of option 1 I can think of. If you want to increase performance, interp1 may be required.
discretize_values([-1 0 1],3)
Now we can apply this to your curve. What I show here is how you can set the precision to influence how jagged your graph will look. Set a higher number for a smoother curve. The mapping back to non-integers should of course be removed if you are planning to use this for indexing.
a=linspace(0,2*pi,200);x=cos(a);y=sin(a);
plot(a,y)
hold on
precision=20;
y2=discretize_values(y,precision);
y2=2*((y2-1)/(precision-1))-1; % map back to non-integers
plot(a,y2)
hold off
function out=discretize_values(in,precision)
% map (-1,1) to 1:precision
if any(in>1) || any(in<-1)
error('data outside expected range')
end
out=1+round((precision-1)*(in+1)/2);
end
