AcaPlt

A MATLAB package for academic plotting

Installation

The installation is extremely simple. Just download the AcaPlt.m file and add the directory where it locates into your Search Path.

Usage

Now it includes two basic functions for creating a plot, AcaPlt and AcaPlt/subplt, which are similar to MATLAB's built-in function figure and subplot respectively; and three functions for plotting, AcaPlt/plt, AcaPlt/errbar and AcaPlt/mdplt. AcaPlt/plt and AcaPlt/errbar are similar to plot and errorbar respectively but are able to produce more beautiful figures which are also more suitable for academic publication. The function AcaPlt/mdplt allows one to plot multiple data at one time, whose color can easily be set as gradient.

Simple Example

x = 0:0.01:2*pi;
y = sin(x)' * linspace(0.1, 1, 10);

f = AcaPlt;
f.subplt(1, 1, 1);
f.mdplt(x, y, 'ig');

xlabel('x');
ylabel('y');
axis([0, 2*pi, -1.1, 1.1]);

TO-DO

• Complete README.md.
• Add xlabel, ylabel, title, legend to automatically support latex.
• Add save to make saving more convenient.
• Add Journal property to automatically support formats of different publishers, margin, font name, font size, etc.
