Subplot is a convenience function that wraps around the lower level axes function. It simplifies the layout process. As a higher level function, it does some bookkeeping for you. This debugging… read more >>

There are two big events coming up that I want to share with you: MathWorks Virtual Career Fair on Thursday November 11th. This is an opportunity to talk directly with Engineers and Hiring… read more >>

Transparency is a nice feature to make your visualizations look better and it also allows you to show data more clearly (pun not intended, but appreciated after the fact). It means that your data… read more >>

The use of whitespace can make your code more pleasant to read. This is not just a nicety, it actually makes it easier to see the structure of your code and makes it more clear where code breaks the… read more >>

I almost never use Simulink, so I never saw this function before (requires Simulink). Try this at the command line: a = 1; b = 2.5; c = ‘A string’; d = {a, b,… read more >>

Ever try to delete some values in a vector by looping through from beginning to end? I have, and failed because the indexing got confused as the vector changed. Here is one solution to that class… read more >>
