Plotting too slow on Matlab - matlab

I am having some issues with a code I am writing, simply because it is too long to plot. What I am trying to do is for matlab to plot a series of ellipses filled with colors depending on a specific parameter.
Here is the code I am using:
clearvars -except data colheaders
close all
clc
data(:,15)=data(:,9)*pi/180; % Convers Column 9 (angle of rotation) in rad
data(:,16)=1196-data(:,6); % Reset the Y coordinate axis to bottom left
delta = 0 : 0.01 : 2*pi; % Converts roation angle in rad
theta=45*pi/180; % Sample cutting angle
imax=5352; % Numbers of rows in data sheet
% Define variables for colors
beta=acos(data(1:imax,8)./data(1:imax,7));%./acos(0);
phi=atan(sin(beta).*cos(data(1:imax,15))./(sin(theta)*sin(beta).*sin(data(1:imax,15))+cos(theta)*cos(beta)))/(pi/2);
phi2=phi/2+1/2; % Set phi within 0 and 1 for colormap
gamma=atan((cos(theta)*sin(beta).*sin(data(1:imax,15))-sin(theta)*cos(beta))./...
(sin(theta)*sin(beta).*sin(data(1:imax,15))+cos(theta)*cos(beta)))/(pi/2);
gamma2=gamma+1/2; % Set gamma between 0 and 1 for colormap
cm = colormap(jet) ; % returns the current color map
% Sort and get their index to access the color array
[~,idx] = sort(phi);
for i=1:imax
x = data(i,7)/2 * cos(delta) * cos(data(i,15)) - data(i,8)/2 * sin(delta) * sin(data(i,15)) + data(i,5);
y = data(i,8)/2 * sin(delta) * cos(data(i,15)) + data(i,7)/2 * cos(delta) * sin(data(i,15)) + data(i,16);
colorID1 = max(1, sum(phi2(i) > [0:1/length(cm(:,1)):1]));
colorID2 = max(1, sum(gamma2(i) > [0:1/length(cm(:,1)):1]));
ColorMap1(i,:) = cm(colorID1, :); % returns your color
ColorMap2(i,:) = cm(colorID2, :); % returns your color
hold on
% Columns (5,6) are the centre (x,y) of the ellipse
% Columns (7,8) are the major and minor axes (a,b)
% Column 9 is the rotation angle with the x axis
figure(1);
fill(x,y,ColorMap1(i,:),'EdgeColor', 'None');
title('Variation of In-plane angle \phi')
colorbar('SouthOutside')
grid on;
caxis([-90 90])
%text(data(i,5),data(i,16),[num2str(0.1*round(10*acos(0)*180*phi(i)/pi))])
figure(2);
fill(x,y,ColorMap2(i,:),'EdgeColor', 'None');
title('Variation of Out-of-plane angle \gamma')
colorbar('SouthOutside')
grid on;
caxis([-45 45])
%text(data(i,5),data(i,16),[num2str(0.1*round(10*acos(0)*180*gamma(i)/pi))])
% Assigns angle data to each ellipse
end
axis equal;
Maybe someone knows how to make that it doesnt take ages to plot ( i know figure is a bad method, but I want 2 specific colormap for the 2 variables phi and gamma).
Cheers guys
Example data you can use to run the code
data(:,5) = [3 ;5 ;12; 8]; % Centre location X
data(:,6) = [1; -5 ;-2; 4]; % Centre location Y
data(:,7) = [6 ;7;8;9]; % Major Axis a
data(:,8) = [2;3;3;5]; % Minor axis b
data(:,9) = [10;40;45;90]; % Angle of rotation
All you need to do is change imax for 4 instead of 5352 and it should work

Creating a circle in a square grid

I try to solve the following 2D elliptic PDE electrostatic problem by fixing the Parallel plate Capacitors code. But I have problem to plot the circle region. How can I plot a circle region rather than the square?
% I use following two lines to label the 50V and 100V squares
% (but it should be two circles)
V(pp1-r_circle_small:pp1+r_circle_small,pp1-r_circle_small:pp1+r_circle_small) = 50;
V(pp2-r_circle_big:pp2+r_circle_big,pp2-r_circle_big:pp2+r_circle_big) = 100;
% Contour Display for electric potential

contour_range_V = -101:0.5:101;
contour(x,y,V,contour_range_V,'linewidth',0.5);
axis([min(x) max(x) min(y) max(y)]);
colorbar('location','eastoutside','fontsize',10);
xlabel('x-axis in meters','fontsize',10);
ylabel('y-axis in meters','fontsize',10);

figure(2)
contour_range_E = -20:0.05:20;

You're creating a square due to the way you're indexing (see this post on indexing). You've specified the rows to run from pp1-r_circle_small to pp1+r_circle_small and similar for the columns. Given that Swiss cheese is not an option, you're creating a complete square.
From geometry we know that all points within distance sqrt((X-X0)^2 - (Y-Y0)^2) < R from the centre of the circle at (X0,Y0) with radius R are within the circle, and the rest outside. This means that you can simply build a mask:
% Set up your grid
Xsize = 30; % Your case: 1
Ysize = 30; % Your case: 1
step = 1; % Amount of gridpoints; use 0.001 or something
% Build indexing grid for circle search, adapt as necessary
X = 0:step:Xsize;
Y = 0:step:Ysize;
[XX,YY] = meshgrid(X, Y);
V = zeros(numel(X), numel(Y));
% Repeat the below for both circles
R = 10; % Radius of your circle; your case 0.1 and 0.15
X0 = 11; % X coordinate of the circle's origin; your case 0.3 and 0.7
Y0 = 15; % Y coordinate of the circle's origin; your case 0.3 and 0.7
% Logical check to see whether a point is inside or outside
mask = sqrt( (XX - X0).^2 + (YY - Y0).^2) < R;
V(mask) = 50; % Give your circle the desired value
imagesc(V) % Just to show you the result
axis equal % Use equal axis to have no image distortion
mask is a logical matrix containing 1 where points are within your circle and 0 where points are outside. You can then use this mask to logically index your potential grid V to set it to the desired value.
Note: This will, obviously, not create a perfect circle, given you cannot plot a perfect circle on a square grid. The finer the grid, the more circle-like your "circle" will be. This shows the result with step = 0.01
Note 2: You'll need to tweek your definition of X, Y, X0, Y0 and R to match your values.

This script plots 2 circles: the small one is red, another is black. But the legend is not consistence with these circles.
this is because you create many line objects in your axes (each loop iteration when you do plot) and the legend function addresses these line objects. sp line1 and line2 are still part of the polygon you draw.
I'll answer your question, but know that your code is sub-optimal and that it is not the best way to draw 2 circles or polygons.
so with minimal change to your code this is what you can do:
....
figure(1)
color = -0.8;
for zz = 1:2
color = color + 0.8;
for i=1:3:49; % plot circle for one period
h(zz)=plot([uu(zz,i) uu(zz,i+3)],[ww(zz,i) ww(zz,i+3)], 'color',([color+0.2 0 0]), 'linewidth', 2)
hold on
end
end
title('Plot of lines from (0,0) to (u(i), v(i). Radius or amplitude in cm/s')
axis equal;
grid on;

Does anyone know how I can find the area above (light grey) and below (dark grey) the centerline (red) for the specific range between 90:270 using MATLAB? I have been trying to use trapz, setting the level (red line in Data Plot picture) but can't seem to get trapz to calculate just the highlighted areas. I posted the code, but not the data, as its a rather large set of data that makes up the curve. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

#Some Guy: Thanks for the quick responses. Here is an example script that you can run. You can change the ratio of blue area to grey area by changing the level value. In pic 1 with level set to 2 they should be equal. In pic 2 blue should be more than grey with level set to 1.6. Thats what I was trying to do. Any thoughts?
%% Example
x = 0:.01:4*pi;% x data
y = sin(x)+2;% y data
level = 1.6;% level
plot(x, y)
hold on
x_interest = 0:.01:x(length(y));
y_interest = sin(x_interest)+2;
xlim ([0 x(length(y))])
% Shaded area above level
area(x_interest, max(y_interest, level), level, ...
'EdgeColor', 'none', 'FaceColor', [.6 .7 .8], ...
'ShowBaseLine', 'off');
% Shaded area below level
area(x_interest, min(y_interest, level), level, ...
'EdgeColor', 'none', 'FaceColor', [.5 .5 .5], ...
'ShowBaseLine', 'off');
y_above = max(y_interest - level,0); % Take only the part of curve above y_split
y_below = max(-y_above,0); % Take the part below y_split
A_above = trapz(y_above)
A_below = trapz(y_below)
If I had data in a vector y and a scalar y_split at which I wanted to split I would do:
y_above = y - y_split;
y_below = max(-y_above,0); % Take the part below y_split
y_above = max(y_above,0); % Take the part above y_split
A_above = trapz(y_above);
A_below = trapz(y_below);
You can plot y_above and y_below to make sure you are integrating as you intend to.
EDIT: With OPs example script the areas with level = 2 is:
A_above =
399.9997
A_below =
399.9976
And level = 1.6 is
A_above =
683.5241
A_below =
181.1221

How to show a zoomed part of a graph within a MATLAB plot?

I have about four series of data on a Matlab plot, two of them are quite close and can only be differentiated with a zoom. How do I depict the zoomed part within the existing plot for the viewer. I have checked similar posts but the answers seem very unclear.
I look for something like this:
Here is a suggestion how to do this with MATLAB. It may need some fine tuning, but it will give you the result:
function pan = zoomin(ax,areaToMagnify,panPosition)
% AX is a handle to the axes to magnify
% AREATOMAGNIFY is the area to magnify, given by a 4-element vector that defines the
% lower-left and upper-right corners of a rectangle [x1 y1 x2 y2]
% PANPOSTION is the position of the magnifying pan in the figure, defined by
% the normalized units of the figure [x y w h]
%
fig = ax.Parent;
pan = copyobj(ax,fig);
pan.Position = panPosition;
pan.XLim = areaToMagnify([1 3]);
pan.YLim = areaToMagnify([2 4]);
pan.XTick = [];
pan.YTick = [];
rectangle(ax,'Position',...
[areaToMagnify(1:2) areaToMagnify(3:4)-areaToMagnify(1:2)])
xy = ax2annot(ax,areaToMagnify([1 4;3 2]));
annotation(fig,'line',[xy(1,1) panPosition(1)],...
[xy(1,2) panPosition(2)+panPosition(4)],'Color','k')
annotation(fig,'line',[xy(2,1) panPosition(1)+panPosition(3)],...
[xy(2,2) panPosition(2)],'Color','k')
end
function anxy = ax2annot(ax,xy)
% This function converts the axis unites to the figure normalized unites
% AX is a handle to the figure
% XY is a n-by-2 matrix, where the first column is the x values and the
% second is the y values
% ANXY is a matrix in the same size of XY, but with all the values
% converted to normalized units
pos = ax.Position;
% white area * ((value - axis min) / axis length) + gray area
normx = pos(3)*((xy(:,1)-ax.XLim(1))./range(ax.XLim))+ pos(1);
normy = pos(4)*((xy(:,2)-ax.YLim(1))./range(ax.YLim))+ pos(2);
anxy = [normx normy];
end
Note that the units of areaToMagnify are like the axis units, while the units of panPosition are between 0 to 1, like the position property in MATLAB.
Here is an example:
x = -5:0.1:5;
subplot(3,3,[4 5 7 8])
plot(x,cos(x-2),x,sin(x),x,-x-0.5,x,0.1.*x+0.1)
ax = gca;
area = [-0.4 -0.4 0.25 0.25];
inlarge = subplot(3,3,3);
panpos = inlarge.Position;
delete(inlarge);
inlarge = zoomin(ax,area,panpos);
title(inlarge,'Zoom in')

Matlab: contourf or colormap to plot filled ellipses according to radius

I am trying to use either the contourf or colormap functions to plot filled ellipses with colors according to their arcsin(b/a) value (a=major axis, b=minor axis).

cm = colormap; % returns the current color map
% Sort and get their index to access the color array
[~,idx] = sort(cvalues);
% Create colormap
%ColorMap=jet;

x = data(i,7)/2 * cos(theta) * cos(data(i,9)) - data(i,8)/2 * sin(theta) * sin(data(i,9)) + data(i,5);

colorID = max(1, sum(cvalues(i) > [0:1/length(cm(:,1)):1]));
ColorMap(i,:) = cm(colorID, :); % returns your color
hold on
% Columns (5,6) are the centre (x,y) of the ellipse

I get a picture that looks like this which I think works well:
Instead of adding numbers in the ellipses, I have added the angle I obtained (90 for circles, 0 for very long ellipse). Now is my real experiment i will have to plot several thousands ellipses, and we found out that it takes quite alot of time to plot them, you'll see we tried another method to basically record the data and plot all in one go. But we haven't succeeded so far if you have any advice :)
Here is a way using built-in colormaps in Matlab (look here for a complete list).
The trick is to create a n x 3 array where n is the number of colors you wish to represent. Here it's the number of ellipses.
You can create a colormap like so:
MyColorMap = jet(n)); %// jet or anything listed in the link above. You can also create your own colormap.
So that's what we're going to do in the following code. In order to get the order right, we need to sort the values of asin(b/a) and fetch each index for the right ellipse. The code is commented so it's quite easy to follow. I added 4 ellipses in the plot to see the difference in color better:
clear
clc
close all
%// Define dummy data
data = zeros(8,9);
data(:,5) = [3;5;12;8;2;7;4;6]; % Centre location X
data(:,6) = [1; -5 ;-2; 4;2;-3;9;5]; % Centre location Y
data(:,7) = [6 ;7;8;6;1;4;2;5]; % Major Axis a
data(:,8) = [2;5;4;2;2;5;3;7]; % Minor axis b
data(:,9) = [10;40;45;90;35;70;85;110]; % Angle of rotation phi
data(:,9)=data(:,9)*pi/180; % Converts phi in rads
theta = 0 : 0.01 : 2*pi;
%// Define colors here
cvalues = asin(data(:,8)./data(:,7));
%// Sort and get their index to access the color array
[~,idx] = sort(cvalues);
%// Create colormap with the "jet" colors
ColorMap = jet(numel(cvalues));
This is the array containing the "colors". It looks like this:
ColorMap =
0 0 1
0 0.5 1
0 1 1
0.5 1 0.5
1 1 0
1 0.5 0
1 0 0
0.5 0 0
So each row represents a combination of red, blue and green (RGB) and there are as many rows as there are ellipses to plot. Now filling the ellipses:
hold all
for i=1:numel(idx)
k = idx(i);
x = data(k,8)/2 * cos(theta) * cos(data(k,9)) - data(k,7)/2 * sin(theta) * sin(data(k,9)) + data(k,5);
y = data(k,7)/2 * sin(theta) * cos(data(k,9)) + data(k,8)/2 * cos(theta) * sin(data(k,9)) + data(k,6);
fill(x,y,ColorMap(i,:))
plot(x, y, 'LineWidth', 1);
% Label each ellipse with a number
text(data(i,5),data(i,6),num2str(i),'Color','k','FontSize',12)
end
axis equal;
grid on;
Output with the jet colormap: blue is the first ellipse plotted and red is the last. You can add a colorbar if you want (add colorbar)
Using another colormap, the bone colormap, gives the following:
Hope that helps!
