I have two data files (Data_file1 and Data_file2) to do a comparison on.

Data files both are matrices with 1 row and 55 columns, which represent 55 points. The points are very similar in value, So plotting them as points wouldn't give a good figure for demonstrating differences. This is why I want to plot each point as a contour.

Here is the code I generated, it technically should work, but somehow it doesn't. Can anyone spot any error that I can't see?

figure;
 sm=smithplot(gca);
 hold on
 NumPowCon=3;
x = linspace(-1,1,55)';
y = linspace(-1,1,55)';
[X,Y] = meshgrid(linspace(min(x),max(x)),linspace(min(y),max(y)));
F = TriScatteredInterp(x,y,Data_file1);
Z = F(X,Y);
contour(X,Y,Z,NumPowCon,'r-')
F = TriScatteredInterp(x,y,Data_file2);
Z = F(X,Y);
contour(X,Y,Z,NumPowCon,'b--')

We do not have your data so we cannot test your code to see what "doesn't work" means to you.

I notice you are not using subplot() or tiled layout or figure() or hold on so the second contour might erase the first.

Thanks for the comment. But it stops at the first contour ploting. The error is 'Xdata' and YData' must be equal the number of columns and rows in 'ZData'. I will add the data files to test the code if you can.

‘Data files both are matrices with 1 row and 55 columns, which represent 55 points.’

They are vectors by definition, and it is not possible to plot a contour of a vector.

You could vertically concatenate the two row vectors to create a (2x55) matrix and then take the contour of that. I am not certain how meaningful that would be.

It would be necessary to have the vectors to work with in order to determine if it would be possible to do anything with them. For example, if they are ‘z’ vectors, do they have corresponding ‘x’ and ‘y’ vectors that could indicate that they are actually gridded and so could be reshaped to each create a surface?

I am lost. I understand that these data are used in a Smith chart (that I have some experience with, although not in MATLAB because I do not have the relevant Toolboxes and so have no experience with those funcitons), however I have no idea what you want to do with them. I doubt that a Smith chart lends itself to any sort of contour plot.

LD1 = load(websave('Data_file1','https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1209953/Data_file1.mat'))

LD1 = struct with fields:

Data_file1: [55×1 double]

DataFile1 = LD1.Data_file1

DataFile1 = 55×1

-0.0094 0.3127 0.3084 0.2663 0.1882 0.0817 -0.0323 -0.1204 -0.2144 -0.2783

LD2 = load(websave('Data_file2','https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1209958/Data_file2.mat'))

LD2 = struct with fields:

Data_file2: [55×1 double]

DataFile2 = LD2.Data_file2

DataFile2 = 55×1

-0.0094 0.3110 0.3085 0.2680 0.1909 0.0835 -0.0326 -0.1205 -0.2152 -0.2796

figure

subplot(2,1,1)

plot(DataFile1)

grid

subplot(2,1,2)

plot(DataFile2)

grid

a = linspace(0, 2*pi, numel(DataFile1));

figure

subplot(1,2,1)

smithplot(DataFile1)

grid

subplot(1,2,2)

smithplot(DataFile2)

grid

What do you want to do with these vectors, and is the Smith chart at all relevant?

I was in the process of writing this when my computer crashed (again). I hate Windows!

I assume that the dash or dash-dot lines simply denote different lines rather than a specific pattern. I have no idea how to interpret it.

Anyway ...

LD1 = load(websave('Data_file1','https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1209953/Data_file1.mat'));

DataFile1 = LD1.Data_file1

DataFile1 = 55×1

-0.0094 0.3127 0.3084 0.2663 0.1882 0.0817 -0.0323 -0.1204 -0.2144 -0.2783

LD2 = load(websave('Data_file2','https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1209958/Data_file2.mat'));

DataFile2 = LD2.Data_file2

DataFile2 = 55×1

-0.0094 0.3110 0.3085 0.2680 0.1909 0.0835 -0.0326 -0.1205 -0.2152 -0.2796

a = linspace(0, 2*pi, numel(DataFile1)).';

V = ones(size(DataFile1)).';

A = a * V;

R1 = DataFile1 * V;

R2 = DataFile2 * V;

[X1,Y1] = pol2cart(A, R1.');

[X2,Y2] = pol2cart(A, R2.');

figure

plot(X1, Y1)

grid

axis('equal')

title('Data File 1')

figure

plot(X2, Y2)

grid

axis('equal')

title('Data File 2')

figure

h1 = plot(X1, Y1, '-b', 'DisplayName','Data File 1');

hold on

h2 = plot(X2, Y2, '-r', 'DisplayName','Data File 2');

hold off

grid

axis('equal')

legend([h1(1) h2(1)], 'Location','best')

This is as close as I can come to a contour plot for these. The provided vectors are the radii of concentric circles.

Another option would be to use polarplot.

Make appropriate changes to produce the desired results.

Oh I hate windows too but not brave enough to shift to Linux. And yes you are right those dash-dot lines were only to indicate differences. You did a great job there, that's exactly what I was trying to do for hours, thank you so much.

As always, my pleasure!
