Downsampling data for faster plotting

I hate to pick one of Jiro‘s files for Pick of the Week, because he is quickly catching me in total number of downloads and I really do not need the competition!

However, I can not resist highlighting this work. Jiro is using the customization of zoom and pan that became available in R2006B to down sample data as you zoom and plot. By keeping the data on screen minimal you get responsiveness without losing any data from view. This file is most impressive when you compare it to the zoom/pan speed of a normal plot. People that are using large data sets should love this file.

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).
