iddataPlotOptions

(Not recommended) Option set for plot when plotting data contained in an iddata object

collapse all in page

iddataPlotOptions is not recommended. Use dataPlotOptions instead to create option sets for idplot. For more information, see Version History.

Syntax

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

Description

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 settings.

Create an option set and use it for plotting data

% Create Option Set
opt = iddataPlotOptions('time');
opt.TimeUnits = 'minutes';
% Turn grid on
 opt.Grid = 'on';
% Load input/output data and plot it.
load iddata1 z1
h = plot(z1, opt);

Generate data with two inputs and one output, plot the data, and change the orientation of the plots.

% Generate the data set.
z = iddata(randn(100,1),rand(100,2));
% Configure a time plot.
opt = iddataPlotOptions('time');
% Plot the data.
h = plot(z,opt);
% 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);
% Alternatively, use setoptions.
setoptions(h,'Orientation','two-column')

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);

Specify identpref for standard preferences.

opt = iddataPlotOptions('time','identpref');
