How to create a graph

Hi,
Could somebody advise me on how you would produce a graph like this in matlab
Thank you

My approach, which requires some work,
  • put data in a 2D array, C
  • plot with the function, image
  • Image type: Indexed (colormap)
  • Define a colormap, with a special slot, e.g. 1, for "missing data", white in your case. The length of the colormap = 64 is enough.
  • Map C carefully to the colormap, e.g. C(ii,jj)=1 for "missing data"
  • User defined tick-labels on the axes
  • and more
--- in response to comments I try to expand a bit ---
Variables
  • cmap is a colormap of size [64x3]. It associates the numbers [1,2,..., 64] to 64 different colors. (64 is an example.)
  • D is your 2D data array
  • C is an array of the same size as D. The values of C are integers in the interval, [1,64].
You create a suitable colormap, cmap, with the colormapeditor. You add some specific colors to signal special values of D, e.g. "missing data", outliers of various kinds etc.
You define a function, which takes D as input and returns C, e.g.
function C = D2C( D )
C = zeros( size(D) ); % zeros will cause error if not replaced
C( isnan(D) ) = 1; % nans will e displayed with color #1
C( D >= upper ) = 2; % values above upper gets color #2
C( D <= lower ) = 3; % values below lower gets color #3
etc.
any command is ok as long as the values of C are integers [1,64]
assert( not( any( C(:)==0 ) ), .... )
end
and to display the graph
colormap( cmap )
image( C )
.

Here is a start to make a graph that resembles https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54057365/All/eff.JPG
%%Create some data
N = 1000;
Speed = transpose( logspace( 0, 2, N ) );
Acc = randn( N, 1 ) .* ( exp( - sqrt( 10*Speed/N ) ) );
Efficiency = ( Acc .* Speed );
nAccBins = 20; % Set resolution of image
nSpeedBins = 30;
Speed_upper = 100;
Speed_lower = 0;
Acc_upper = 3;
Acc_lower = -3;
ix_Speed = ceil( nSpeedBins * ( Speed - Speed_lower ) ...
/ ( Speed_upper - Speed_lower ) );
ix_Acc = ceil( nAccBins * ( Acc - Acc_lower ) ...
/ ( Acc_upper - Acc_lower ) );
M = accumarray( { ix_Speed, ix_Acc }, Efficiency, [], @mean, nan );
imh = imagesc( transpose( M ) );
axh = ancestor ( imh, 'Axes' );
set( axh, 'YDir', 'normal' )
Next step would be to map M to a special colormap with something like
C = D2C( M );
and display with
colormap( cmap )
image( C )
.
Backlog:
  • axis, ticks and ticklabels
  • colorbar

Alternately instead of using a special color index for the missing data, set the AlphaData for those pixels to 0 so that the background shows through.
Hello,
Thank you for your replies above. I've put the data in a 2D array (called C) and plotted the image using
image(C)
Could you demonstrate how I would create a colour map and map C onto it?
My apologies if this is a basic question.
Many thanks for your help

colormap(jet(256));
colorbar;
To make a colormap:
  1. use the colormapeditor that comes with Matlab. Output: a [64x3 double] array och RGB-values
  2. use a text editor to modify special entries if necessary. However, everthing can be done with the colormap editor.
Mapping the data values to the interval, [1,64], requires some code.
Hello,
Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry but I don't understand how to get the colours to appear correctly.
This is what I am getting
but this is what I'm trying to achieve
Also how do you switch the axis?
Thank you for your help

Hello Per Isakson,
Thank you for your help with this. Would you mind if I asked you one further question please?
If I was trying to create a graph like this:
So I have 3 sets of data, acceleration, speed and efficiency.
For example Speed =40 and acceleration = 2 has an efficiency of 80%.
Would acceleration and speed be in the 2D array on their own? or would this become a 3D array with acceleration, speed and efficiency?
Thank you
John

You would create an image - basically a 2D array. You must have that. If you don't have that, then you have nothing at all to display. Then display it with image() or imshow(), and apply a colormap. Not hard at all, assuming you have the data, temperature vs. current, in a 2D array already.
