help on graph (w/o common matrix plotting built-in functions)

2 views (last 30 days)
Dear all,
based on a matrix of zeros and ones, let's say 10 x 365 (10 years a 365 days), I would like to plot a '-' for a one and leave the position blank ' ' for a zero.
Thus, the graph should e.g. look like:
....
------ --- --- ---- ---- ------ ----- --
-------- ------ --------------- -----------
------ -- ---------- --------- ---------
----- --------------- ------ ---------- -
.....
Any hint appreciated.

In that case, maybe something like this will get you close.
A = randi(2,10,365)-1;
x = 1:size(A,2);
y = size(A,1):-1:1;
for i = 1:size(A,1)
A(i,:) = A(i,:)*y(i);
end
A(A==0) = NaN;
for i = 1:size(A,1)
line(x, A(i,:), 'Marker', '_', 'linestyle', 'none', 'MarkerSize', 0.1)
end

How clever! I'm suprised that that works. I would have never thought to index into a 1x2 array with a larger index array.

The size of the index array doesn't matter for linear indexing. What matters are the values in that array.

excellent already, but actually I thought about having a real figure with xaxis and yaxis. Sorry that I was not very clear here.

A = randi([0 1], 5, 5)
A = 5×5
1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1
spy(A)
If you really want dashes:
figure
spy(A, '_')

In the spirit of ridiculousness, here is my attempt:
% random binary data
data = randi([0 1],10,10)
data =
1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0
0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1
0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0
1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0
0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1
0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0
0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1
0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1
% convert to char data (space and full-width crossbar)
charmap = char([32 196]);
chardata = charmap(data+1)
chardata =
10×10 char array
'ÄÄ ÄÄÄÄ '
' Ä ÄÄÄÄÄ'
' ÄÄ Ä '
'ÄÄÄÄ Ä Ä '
' Ä Ä ÄÄ ÄÄ'
' Ä Ä ÄÄÄ '
' Ä Ä Ä '
' ÄÄ Ä'
'Ä ÄÄ Ä Ä'
' ÄÄ Ä Ä Ä'
% construct an image by flowing char glyphs into a rectangular box
charsize = [8 8]; % depends on the selected font
datasize = size(chardata);
tsize = [NaN datasize(2)*charsize(2)+charsize(2)/2];
outpict = textblock(chardata(:)',tsize,'font','compaq-8x8','tightwidth',true,'hardbreak',true);
% display the image with character-centered tickmarks
xrange = 0.5:datasize(1)+0.5;
yrange = 0.5:datasize(2)+0.5;
imagesc(xrange,yrange,1-outpict)
colormap(gray)
Alternatively, instead of using a full crossbar, you can just use
charmap = ' -';
and get
Bear in mind those are different random data. The point is that the bars don't touch.
This uses a few tools from MIMT, namely textblock() and imstacker().
