I try to understand the possibilities of FPLOT and consulted the documentation (relevant phrases cited below). But I don´t understand how the step size along the X-axis, for which the Y values are then calculated, becomes automatically defined or can be manually defined.
On page 17-21 in the MATLAB R2013b Programming Fundamentals documentation it is given an example which makes use of FPLOT:
s = @(x) sin(1./x);
range = [0.01,0.1];
fplot(s,range)
In the documentation for the FPLOT function (help fplot) I then find this:
fplot(FUN,LIMS,N) with N >= 1 plots the function with a minimum of N+1 points. The default N is 1. The maximum step size is restricted to be (1/N)*(XMAX-XMIN).
[X,Y] = fplot(FUN,LIMS,...) returns X and Y such that Y = FUN(X)
NOW MY OBSERVATION: If coding the following:
s = @(x) sin(1./x);
range = [0.01,0.1];
[axisX,axisY]= plot(s,range)
then I receive for the X-axis 377 values registered. While MATLAB decided that the function should be plotted based on 377 calculated steps, I for instance would like it to become calculated in the given range in 20 steps along the X-axis and therefore tried to type:
clear axisX axisY;
[axisX,axisY]=fplot(s,range,20)
But I again receive 377 values registered, but not as expected only 20. Could you explain me, how the step size along the X-axis, for which the Y values are then calculated, becomes automatically defined or can be manually defined within/by the FPLOT syntax?
