• Let 2 plot show in one figure

octave:1> t = [0: 0.01: 0.98];
octave:2> y1 = sin(2 * pi * 4 * t);
octave:3> y2 = cos(2 * pi * 4 * t);
octave:4> plot(t, y1);

octave:5> hold on                              %to hold the current plot not to be overwrite
octave:6> plot(t, y2);
octave:7> xlabel('time')                       %Add a label in x axis
octave:8> ylabel('value')                      %Add a label in y axis
octave:9> title('my plot')                     %Add a title
octave:10> legend('sin', 'cos')                %Add a legend

• Output 2 figure

octave:14> figure(1); plot(t, y1);
octave:15> figure(2); plot(t, y2);

• subplot

octave:27> subplot(1, 2, 1);       %divides plot in 1 * 2 grid, access the first element
octave:29> plot(t, y1);
octave:30> title('sin');
octave:31> subplot(1, 2, 2);       %divides plot in 1 * 2 grid, access the second element
octave:32> plot(t, y2, 'r');
octave:33> title('cos');
octave:34> print -dpng 'my subplot.png'
octave:35> close

• axis: to range the axis in the figure:

axis(x_min, x_max, y_min, y_max)

• clf: clear a figure

• Print a figure stand a matrix(different color stand for different value)

octave:42> A = magic(15);
octave:45> imagesc(A), colorbar, colormap  gray;
octave:46> print -dpng 'imagesc.png'
