I have two datasets, one of which is a target position, and the other is the actual position. I would like to plot the target with a +/- acceptable range and then overlay with the actual. This question is only concerning the target position however.
I have unsuccessfully attempted the built in area, fill, and rectangle functions. Using code found on stackoverflow here, it is only correct in certain areas.
For example
y = [1 1 1 2 1 1 3 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1]; % Target datum
y1 = y+1; %variation in target size
y2 = y-1;
t = 1:15;
X=[t,fliplr(t)]; %create continuous x value array for plotting
Y=[y1,fliplr(y2)]; %create y values for out and then back
fill(X,Y,'b');
The figure produced looks like this:
I would prefer it to be filled within the red boxes drawn on here:
Thank you!
If you would just plot a function y
against x
, then you could use a stairs
plot. Luckily for us, you can use the stairs function
like:
[xs,ys] = stairs(x,y);
to create the vectors xs
, ys
which generate a stairs-plot when using the plot
function. We can now use these vectors to generate the correct X
and Y
vectors for the fill
function. Note that stairs
generates column vectors, so we have to transpose them first:
y = [1 1 1 2 1 1 3 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1]; % Target datum
y1 = y+1; %variation in target size
y2 = y-1;
t = 1:15;
[ts,ys1] = stairs(t,y1);
[ts,ys2] = stairs(t,y2);
X=[ts.',fliplr(ts.')]; %create continuous x value array for plotting
Y=[ys1.',fliplr(ys2.')]; %create y values for out and then back
fill(X,Y,'b');
