Syntax

opt = iddataPlotOptions('time')
opt = iddataPlotOptions('frequency')
opt = iddataPlotOptions(___,'identpref')

Description

example

opt = iddataPlotOptions('time') creates the default option set for plotting time-domain data. Use dot notation to customize the option set, if needed.

example

opt = iddataPlotOptions('frequency') creates a default option set for plotting frequency-domain data. Use dot notation to customize the option set, if needed.

example

opt = iddataPlotOptions(___,'identpref') initializes the plot options with the System Identification Toolbox™ preferences. This syntax can include any of the input argument combinations in the previous syntaxes. Use this syntax to change a few plot options but otherwise use your toolbox preferences.

Open Live Script

Create an options set with default options for time-domain data. 

opt = iddataPlotOptions('time');

Specify plot properties, such as time units and grid. View the plot in minutes

 opt.TimeUnits = 'minutes';
 % Turn grid on
 opt.Grid = 'on';

Create a plot using the specified options. 

load iddata1 z1
h = plot(z1, opt);

Figure contains 2 axes objects. Axes object 1 with title y1 contains an object of type line. This object represents z1. Axes object 2 with title u1 contains an object of type line. This object represents z1.

Open Live Script

Generate data with two inputs and one output.

z = iddata(randn(100,1),rand(100,2));

Configure a time plot.

opt = iddataPlotOptions('time');

Plot the data.

h = plot(z,opt);

Figure contains 3 axes objects. Axes object 1 with title y1 contains an object of type line. This object represents z. Axes object 2 with title u1 contains an object of type line. This object represents z. Axes object 3 with title u2 contains an object of type line. This object represents z.

Change the orientation of the plots such that all inputs are plotted in one column, and all outputs are in a second column.

opt.Orientation = 'two-column';
h = plot(z,opt);

Figure contains 3 axes objects. Axes object 1 with title y1 contains an object of type line. This object represents z. Axes object 2 with title u1 contains an object of type line. This object represents z. Axes object 3 with title u2 contains an object of type line. This object represents z.

Alternatively, use setoptions.

setoptions(h,'Orientation','two-column')

You can also change the orientation by right-clicking the plot and choosing Orientation in the context menu.

Open Live Script

Create an option set with default options for frequency-domain data. 

opt = iddataPlotOptions('frequency');

Specify plot properties, such as phase visibility and frequency units. 

opt.PhaseVisible = 'off'; 
opt.FreqUnits = 'Hz';

Create a plot with the specified options. 

load iddata7 z7
zf = fft(z7);
h = plot(zf,opt);

Figure contains 3 axes objects. Axes object 1 with title y1 contains an object of type line. This object represents zf. Axes object 2 with title u1 contains an object of type line. This object represents zf. Axes object 3 with title u2 contains an object of type line. This object represents zf.
