Problem plotting 1D array versus table column: I want a single curve/series but am instead getting a separate series for every array element.

8 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have used Matlab's "Import Data" facility to import a single column of data from a file. I can plot it by doing this:
plot(myTable.TotalMt)
However, because each element in the imported data represents half a time step, the x axis in the plot is twice as long as I want it to be.
My solution is to create an array called "time" like this:
timeLimit=(size(myTable.TotalMt));
time=1:timeLimit;
time = time./2;
And then plot that with the imported data plus a line representing the average of the imported data:
plot(time,myTable.TotalMt); hold on
mean_simple = mean(myTable.TotalMt,1);
plot(time,mean_simple);
There's a problem though. I have over 200000 series in the plot. It seems that each row of the array and imported table column is being plotted as a separate series. I'm not that experienced in Matlab and if anyone has advice on how to do this the right way, I would be grateful.

I'd first recommend converting your table into a timetable so you can see the time step for each row.
For example,
>> t = table2timetable(table((1:10)'),'SampleRate',2)
t =
10×1 timetable
Time Var1
_______ ____
0 sec 1
0.5 sec 2
1 sec 3
1.5 sec 4
2 sec 5
2.5 sec 6
3 sec 7
3.5 sec 8
4 sec 9
4.5 sec 10
You can then plot your data directly using stackedplot.
stackedplot(t)
It sounds like myTable.TotalMt has multiple columns. By default the plot and stackedplot functions will plot these separate columns as multiple lines. To plot a single column of a table variable you can split that column into multiple variables with splitvars.
For example,
>> t = timetable([(1:10)' (2:11)'],'SampleRate',2)
t =
10×1 timetable
Time Var1
_______ ________
0 sec 1 2
0.5 sec 2 3
1 sec 3 4
1.5 sec 4 5
2 sec 5 6
2.5 sec 6 7
3 sec 7 8
3.5 sec 8 9
4 sec 9 10
4.5 sec 10 11
>> t = splitvars(t,'Var1')
t =
10×2 timetable
Time Var1_1 Var1_2
_______ ______ ______
0 sec 1 2
0.5 sec 2 3
1 sec 3 4
1.5 sec 4 5
2 sec 5 6
2.5 sec 6 7
3 sec 7 8
3.5 sec 8 9
4 sec 9 10
4.5 sec 10 11
>> stackedplot(t,"Var1_1")
