Matlab function cheat sheet astra 07 oct. 2019 clear workspace plot responses all variables in workspace all commands in command window for first. Advanced Matlab Commands. Let’s take a look at some of the Advanced commands which are as given below:-1. Whenever you are dealing in control system designs in engineering, the Nyquist plot contours, etc give you a mark of the stability in the system, we can customize the style of the plot in the Matlab (like the color and line type, etc).
fprintf
%4.2f in the formatSpec input specifies that the first value in each line of output is a floating-point number with a field width of four digits, including two digits after the decimal point. %8.3f in the formatSpec input specifies that the second value in each line of output is a floating-point number with a field width of eight digits, including three digits after the decimal point. n is a control character that starts a new line.Line Properties
