I cannot describe with words how much this video has helped me. I was watching my lectures for a few hours, not being able to plot a sin curve, but 4 minutes into watching this video, plotting started to seem like a piece of cake. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Plotting in matlab is so much better than excel, I will always go to matlab to plot data over excel. the double Axis function is great, thanks for the video

4 years in the future and this is still life changing. God Bless You MAN!

Years later, i still learn more about plots!

AE501 These Matlab tutorials have taught me more in half an hour than in some of my classes. Excellent explanations.

At first I thought why is a simple plot concept is 25 minutes long. After watching the video, I was like "Wow! I don't even know half of what's in there". Thanks a lot. You made everything look so easy

Fast way to review plots, thanks for the video. Matlab was telling me to use yyaxis instead of plotyy but they both gave me the same plots.

AE 501 - Thanks for putting this together. It's a great overview for plotting and I've learnt a few more commands that will make plots cleaner.

[markmurphy]

The ability to move the legend to the 'best' was new to me! I also didn't know about the pie plot so that could come in handy one day.

[mitchellhubbard]

Several of the plotting functions were new to me so this was especially helpful!

[thomasireson]

I was only aware of a few of these functions, so this was a lot of useful information.

AE511. Learned a new trick with the subplot command. Thanks!

[jesusespinoza]

Useful resource for introducing Matlab 2d plotting features!

love from Pakistan .I appreciate your hard work and you are doin great work for students .Hats off to you for helping students over worldwide. Bundle of thanks

[marissalamadrid]

Good to learn about plotyy being so easy in Matlab

[ryoonoue]

Great tutorial on plotting on MATLAB. It's been a minute for me so these videos are a tremendous help. Thanks!

[mattschierholtz]

Thanks for the vid. These must take a lot of time, and it's really appreciated.

[SScook]

Thanks for the video! Plotting can be confusing on Matlab so this was a good refresher.

[eowynfreedomfighter]

I did not know about the pie function. Thanks again, Dr. Lum.

[AE 501 Student] Great understanding of many styles of MatLab plots and graphics now. Wonderful refresher. Thanks Prof.
