Plotly Graphing Library for MATLAB®

Plotly Graphing Library for MATLAB® - Create interactive charts in your web browser with MATLAB® and Plotly

Version: 3.0.0

MATLAB is a registered trademarks of The MathWorks, Inc.

Install

The latest version of the wrapper can be downloaded here.

Once downloaded, run plotlysetup_offline() to get started. If you have a plotly bundle url of the form 'http://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-latest.min.js', then run instead `plotlysetup_offline('plotly_bundle_url')

For online use, run plotlysetup_online('your_username', 'your_api_key') to get started.

Updates

NOTE: plotlyupdate.m is currently turned off.

Please manually download and setup the latest version of the wrapper by following the installation instructions above.

Usage

Convert your MATLAB® figures into online Plotly graphs with a single line of code:

 % Create some data for the two curves to be plotted
 x  = 0:0.01:20;
 y1 = 200*exp(-0.05*x).*sin(x);
 y2 = 0.8*exp(-0.5*x).*sin(10*x);

 % Create a plot with 2 y axes using the plotyy function
 figure;
 [ax, h1, h2] = plotyy(x, y1, x, y2, 'plot');

 % Add title and x axis label
 xlabel('Time (s)');
 title('Frequency Response');

 % Use the axis handles to set the labels of the y axes
 ax(1).YLabel.String = "Low Frequency";
 ax(2).YLabel.String = "High Frequency";

 %--PLOTLY--%
 p = fig2plotly; % <-- converts the yy-plot to an interactive, online version.

 %--URL--%
 % p.url = 'https://plot.ly/~matlab_user_guide/1522'

MATLAB® Contour Plot

Also, access other Plotly services and graphs programatically. Like, publication-quality image export:

 saveplotlyfig(p, 'testimage.svg')

and Plotly figure retrieval:

 p = getplotlyfig('chris', 1638) % downloads the graph data from https://plot.ly/~chris/1638
