Calling Sequence
nyquist( sl,[fmin,fmax] [,step] [,comments] [,symmetry]) nyquist( sl, frq [,comments] [,symmetry]) nyquist(frq,db,phi [,comments] [,symmetry]) nyquist(frq, repf [,comments] [,symmetry])
Arguments
- sl
- a continuous or discrete time SIMO linear dynamical system ( see: syslin). 
- fmin,fmax
- real scalars (frequency lower and upper bounds (in Hz)). 
- step
- real (logarithmic discretization step), if not given an adaptative discretization is used. 
- comments
- string vector (captions). 
- symmetry
- a boolean, default value is %t. 
- frq
- vector or matrix of frequencies (in Hz) (one row for each output of - sl).
- db,phi
- real matrices of modulus (in dB) and phases (in degree) (one row for each output of - sl).
- repf
- matrix of complex numbers. Frequency response (one row for each output of - sl)
Description
Nyquist plot i.e Imaginary part versus Real part of the
            frequency response of sl. If the
            symmetry argument is true or omitted the
            Nyquist plot displays the symetric graph (positive and negative
            frequencies).
For continuous time systems sl(2*%i*%pi*w) is
            plotted. For discrete time system or discretized systems
            sl(exp(2*%i*%pi*w*fd) is used ( fd=1
            for discrete time systems and fd=sl('dt') for
            discretized systems )
sl can be a continuous-time or discrete-time SIMO
            system (see syslin). In case of multi-output the
            outputs are plotted with different symbols.
The frequencies are given by the bounds fmin,fmax
            (in Hz) or by a row-vector (or a matrix for multi-output)
            frq.
step is the ( logarithmic ) discretization step.
            (see calfrq for the choice of default value).
comments is a vector of character strings
            (captions).
db,phi are the matrices of modulus (in Db) and
            phases (in degrees). (One row for each response).
repf is a matrix of complex numbers. One row for
            each response.
Default values for fmin and
            fmax are 1.d-3,
            1.d+3 if sl is continuous-time or
            1.d-3, 0.5/sl.dt (nyquist frequency)
            if sl is discrete-time.
Automatic discretization of frequencies is made by calfrq.
To obtain the value of the frequency at a selected point(s) you can activate the datatips manager and click the desired point on the nyquist curve(s).
Graphics entities organization
The nyquist function creates a compound
            object for each SISO system. The following piece of code allows
            to get the handle on the compound object of the ith system:
ax=gca();//handle on current axes hi=ax.children($+i-1)// the handle on the compound object of the ith system
This compound object has two children: a compound object that defines the small arrows (a compound of small polylines) and the curve labels (a compound of texts) and a polyline which is the curve itself. The following piece of code shows how one can customize a particular nyquist curve display.
hi.children(1).visible='off'; //hides the arrows and labels hi.children(2).thickness=2; //make the curve thicker
Examples
//Nyquist curve s=poly(0,'s') h=syslin('c',(s^2+2*0.9*10*s+100)/(s^2+2*0.3*10.1*s+102.01)); h1=h*syslin('c',(s^2+2*0.1*15.1*s+228.01)/(s^2+2*0.9*15*s+225)) clf(); nyquist(h1) // add a datatip ax=gca(); h_h=ax.children($).children(2);//handle on Nyquist curve of h tip=datatipCreate(h_h,[1.331,0.684]); datatipSetOrientation(tip,"upper left");

//Hall chart as a grid for nyquist s=poly(0,'s'); Plant=syslin('c',16000/((s+1)*(s+10)*(s+100))); //two degree of freedom PID tau=0.2;xsi=1.2; PID=syslin('c',(1/(2*xsi*tau*s))*(1+2*xsi*tau*s+tau^2*s^2)); clf(); nyquist([Plant;Plant*PID],0.5,100,["Plant";"Plant and PID corrector"]); hallchart(colors=color('light gray')*[1 1]) //move the caption in the lower rigth corner ax=gca();Leg=ax.children(1); Leg.legend_location="in_upper_left";
