Introducing Trendy!

MATLAB Central is proud to announce our newest community application – Trendy a service for tracking and plotting trends.

Use Trendy to track data on public webpages by two simple steps:

  1. Write MATLAB Code to collect your data.
  2. Write MATLAB Code to visualize the collected data as trends and plots.

Trendy will collect your data daily and stores it as a trend. Trendy uses your MATLAB code to plot your data, so make sure that you come back to see what your data looks like!

Become a trend-watcher!

It’s easy and fun to see what trends have been created. Just go to Trendy to check out some plots and trends. If you want to see who are the community trend-makers, click on Owners in the left navigation bar.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
