Graphics and GUI
MATLAB has an extensive library of plotting functions, enabling data to be visualized in a
variety of manners using plot charts and interactive controls (collectively called MATLAB
Handle Graphics, or HG). Performance is usually not an issue when generating few simple
graphs. However, performance may well be important in the following cases:
• When we generate complex charts, having numerous plotting elements
• When we need to generate multiple plots
• When we wish to update plotted data in a continuous icker-less manner
In any of these situations, small performance improvements can add up to a signicant
effect on the ov ...
