MATLAB Basics video: Using NaN as placeholder data in graphics

 This is one in a series of videos covering MATLAB basics. It is meant for the new MATLAB user. This video covers how to uses NaN as placeholder data when plotting data so you can leave a gap where there is no data to plot.

    Nice video. One idea for a next post would be to talk about the nanmean, nanstd, and all the other statistics functions that can deal with NaN.

    I just saw the last post by Loren and she is talking about calculations with NaN…

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).
