Hello everyone -
I have been playing with some basic plotting and have a couple questions
about it:
-We can specify different point plotting styles using flags such as '*',
'o', '+', 'x' (and maybe others too, but these are the main ones I've
been playing with. I would expect these to plot something similar on
the plot window, but I find that
'*' plots what I would expect from 'o'
'o' plots what I would expect from '+'
'+' plots what I would expect from 'x'
'x' plots a square
It seems reasonable to me that if I am to enter "plot(x, y, 'x')" I
should get 'x' points on the plot, but instead I get little squares. Am
I the only one that has this, or does something need to be changed in
general?
-Secondly, I have noticed that when I expand a plot window, the point
size expands. Take the example I just laid out. If I have a small plot
window, I can hardly tell that they are squares, but if I expand to a
full screen then I can tell for sure. I prefer to have my plots small
so that I can view them and my terminal window at the same time, but if
I do this plotted points hardly look different from lines. I have
noticed that in Matlab the point plots stay the same. Is there
something that can be done about this? Thanks in advance.
-Ron
