Project 6 | Visualization Techniques
Type| Computer Programming
Software | MATLAB
Description
In this project, various programming methods are used to manipulate visualizations of data.
Approach
The programming methods employed in this code involve the use of MATLAB's built-in functions and object-oriented features. Functions like tiledlayout, surf, rot90, and colormap are utilized to create and manipulate the visualizations. Object-oriented features, such as setting properties of axes objects are used to customize the appearance of the plots. This combination of built-in functions and object-oriented programming allows for a concise and efficient way to create varying visualizations.
Results
In figure 4, object oriented programming allows for the effect of a "zoom up" to any part of the plot that a viewer wishes to see. In figure 2, MATLAB's tiledlayout is used instead of the commonly used subplot. By using the most modern techniques and methods, results for this project show that MATLAB is an effective approach to data visualization in engineering.
