Matplot1

Arguments

a

a real matrix of size (n1,n2).

rect

[xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax].

Description

The entries of matrix int(a) are used as colormap entries in the current colormap. rect specifies a rectangle in the current scale and the matrix is drawn inside this rectangle. Each matrix entry will be rendered as a small rectangle filled with its associated color. If a matrix entry is outside the colormap, the corresponding rectangle is not displayed.

Enter the command Matplot1() to see a demo.

Examples

clf();
ax = gca();//get current axes handle
ax.data_bounds = [0, 0; 10, 10]; //set the data_bounds
ax.box = 'on'; //draw a box
a = 5*ones(11,11);
a(2:10, 2:10) = 4;
a(5:7, 5:7) = 2;
// first matrix in rectangle [1,1,3,3]
Matplot1(a, [1,1,3,3])
a = ones(10,10);
a = 3*tril(a)+ 2*a;
// second matrix in rectangle [5,6,7,8]
Matplot1(a,[5,6,7,8])

//--- (animation)
n=100;

clf();
f=gcf();//get current figure handle
f.pixmap='on';//double buffer modea
ax=gca();//get current axes handle
ax.data_bounds=[0,0;10,10];//set the data_bounds
ax.box='on'; //draw a box
for k=-n:n,
  a=ones(n,n);
  a= 3*tril(a,k)+ 2*a;
  a= a + a';
  k1= 3*(k+100)/200;
  if k>-n then delete(gce()),end
  Matplot1(a,[k1,2,k1+7,9])
  sleep(20); // Slow down the simulation
end
f.pixmap='off';
