Hi , I need to make my curve smooth and I use all of the method simoltaneouly but my data need to be more smooth. how can I make this happen ?
very thanks in advance

Since you haven't said what you actually attempted and haven't given any sample data or even revealed the domain and range of the plot image, I can only offer a simple example.
% make up some function with a similar appearance
x = linspace(0,10,100);
y = -0.01*(x-6).^2 + 0.05*abs(sin(4*x));
% smooth the thing with an averaging filter
ys = smooth(y,20);
% smooth the thing with a spline fit (uses CFT)
fm = fit(x',y','smoothingspline','smoothingparam',0.9);
plot(x,y,'k:'); hold on; grid on
plot(x,ys,'r')
plot(x,fm(x),'b')
legend('original','average','spline','location','southeast')
You'd obviously have to tailor the parameters to whatever data you're actually using.

Did you try the smooth (MAF) function from the MATLAB ? Try that with smoothing a specific coloumn or row and see what gives you the best result. Hope it helps.

Can you give a sample of your data so that I can try ?

Dear Siddharth
Thank you for your attention. This is a small part of my data. I need a realy smooth gradient but as you see although the graph seems smooth but the gradient has sharp changes
Best wishes
