How can I make multiple lines on a graph more spaced apart?
Show older comments
I have to put 4 lines on the same graph but they overlap and are hard to see clearly. Is there anyway to make them more spaced out or stretch the axes so that they can be seen better?
figure
errorbar(K20conc,K20int1,K20errx,K20erry,'rx','MarkerSize',5,'CapSize',12,...
'Linestyle','none', 'HandleVisibility','off') ;
hold on
K20line = polyfit(K20conc, K20int1,1);
K20fit = polyval(K20line,K20conc);
plot(K20conc,K20fit,'k-','DisplayName','2020 - K 766.491')
hold on
errorbar(K20conc,K20int2,K20errx,K20erry2,'kx','MarkerSize',5,'CapSize',12,...
'Linestyle','none', 'HandleVisibility','off') ;
hold on
K20line2 = polyfit(K20conc, K20int2,1);
K20fit2 = polyval(K20line2,K20conc);
plot(K20conc,K20fit2,'g-','DisplayName','2020 - K 769.897')
errorbar(K21conc,K21int1,K21errx,K21erry,'gx','MarkerSize',5,'CapSize',12,...
'Linestyle','none', 'HandleVisibility','off') ;
hold on
K21line = polyfit(K21conc, K21int1,1);
K21fit = polyval(K21line,K21conc);
plot(K21conc,K21fit,'b-','DisplayName','2021 - K 766.491')
hold on
errorbar(K21conc,K21int2,K21errx,K21erry2,'bx','MarkerSize',5,'CapSize',12,...
'Linestyle','none', 'HandleVisibility','off') ;
hold on
K21line2 = polyfit(K21conc, K21int2,1);
K21fit2 = polyval(K21line2,K21conc);
plot(K21conc,K21fit2,'c-','DisplayName','2021 - K 769.897')

- Try semilogy
- Try legend
t = 0:0.1:10;
plot(t,sin(t),'.r')
line(t,sin(t))
line(t,cos(t),'marker','.','color','g')
line(t,cos(t),'color', 'm')
legend('curve1','curvw2', 'curve3','curve4')
