LineMarks

Adds "line marks" in order to label and identify constant values or allows to highlight data intervals on MATLAB

How to use this function:

Simply create your MATLAB figure and then execute the function "LineMarks" as follows:

LineMarks(x_initial,x_end,y_pos,marks,mark_names,mark_size,line_style,line_width,tick_width,mark_color,mark_dx,mark_dy)

where (see image below):

x_initial: Initial position for common horizontal line

x_end: Final position for common horizontal line

y_pos: Vertical position for common horizontal line

marks: Float (int or double) array with all the horizontal values for the vertical ticks

mark_names: Cell array with the labels for each mark (use '' for empty)

mark_size: Markers size (font size)

line_style: Line style for all the lines ('-' solid line, '--' dashed line, ':' dotted line, '-.' dash-dot line)

line_width: Line width for all the lines

tick_width: Vertical tick width

mark_color: Color for both markers and lines

mark_dx: Horizontal spacing between lines and labels

mark_dy: Vertical spacing between lines and labels

y = linspace(-3,3,6); stem(y,'LineWidth',3,'Color','k'); % Creating and plotting some data

xlim([0.5 6.5]); ylim([-4.5 4.5]);

LineMarks(4,6,3.8,[4,5,6],{'\alpha','\beta','\gamma'},20,'-.',2,0.5,'r',0,0.4) % LineMarks #1 (red)

LineMarks(1,3,-3.8,[1,2,3],{'A','B','C'},20,'-',2,-0.5,'b',0,-0.4) % LineMarks #2 (blue)

LineMarks(3,4,-2,[3,4],{'d',''},40,'--',2,-0.5,'#07b023',0.5,-0.6) % LineMarks #3 (green)
