 Objectives:
 To study basics of MATLAB animation and plotting
 How to developed different part of crank slider using MATLAB code
 To developed crank slider mechanism using MATLAB code

 Apparatus:
 Laptop
 MATLAB Software 2019 Version
 Theory:

 MATLAB:

MATLAB is been used for many useful purposes around the globe in engineering fields such
as, it includes deep learning and machine learning, signal processing and communications,
image and video processing, control systems, test and measurement. MATLAB is a high-
performance language for technical computing. It is used for analytical modeling, simulation,
and visualization. MATLAB (matrix laboratory) is a fourth-generation high-level
programming language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization
and programming. It has numerous built-in commands and math functions that help you in
mathematical calculations, generating plots, and performing numerical methods. It can
perform every basic and advanced arithmetic operation.

 Main Features:
 Easy to use built in function
 Easy interface
 Add other library and tool box
 It has numerical, graphical, and programming capabilities

 MATLAB has the following windows:

 The Command Window
 The Command History
 The Workspace
 The script file or M. file
 The Help Browser etc.

 In Lab Activity:
 In this lab we learned and wrote different codes in MATLAB for various different
purposes, such as:
 We wrote a code for plotting a graph in MATLAB
 Then we wrote a code to plot multiple graph’s
 Then after this we also wrote a code to change the colour of the graph
 We also typed and run the code to indicate the plotted graph for various depended
variables, such as legend code
 We also typed a code to label our x and y axis of our graph in MATLAB
 Then we also wrote a code for a line in MATLAB
 We also wrote a code for plotting arc and circle in MATLAB through coding as
shown below
 All the in lab tasks and their codes along with results are given below

 In Lab Codes and Results:

In Lab Tasks:

 Plotting a graph in MATLAB:

 Code:
>>title(‘This is the sinus function’)

>>xlabel(‘time’)

>>ylabel(‘sin(x)’)

>>legend ('sin_x')

>> grid on

>> grid off

 Figure 1: Plot Result

 Plotting Multiple Graphs in MATLAB:

 Code:

>> x= 0:pi/100:2*pi;
>> y = sin(x);
>> y2 = sin(x-0.25);
y3 = sin(x-0.5);
plot(x,y,x,y2,x,y3)
>> plot(x,y,x,y2,x,y3,'r-*')

 Line specifiers in the plot(t) command:

 The fplot Command:

 Code:
 fplot (‘function’,[limits])
 Now plotting the equation, so we get the following results:

 Figure 3: MATLAB code and its Result

 Subplots:
 Code:
subplot(m,n,p)

 m= Rows
 n= columns
 p= position

>> x=0:0.1:2*pi;

>> y=sin(x);

>> subplot(1,2,1);

>> plot(y)

>> title('sin(x) wave')

Example:

 Additional Plotting Graphs:

 Codes and their Results are attached below:
 bar(x,y)

Figure 5:Function creates vertical Bar plot

 barh(x,y)

 stairs(x,y)

 compass(x,y)

 pie(x)

Figure 9: Function creates pie plot

 Plotting a Circle in MATLAB:

 There are five basic step code for this:
1st. Step: define the values of the angles to be considered.
angle = linspace(0, 2*pi, 360);
2nd. Step: calculate the horizontal values of your points. x = cos(angle);

9
3rd. Step: calculate the vertical values of your points. y = sin(angle);
4th. Step: plot your 360 pairs of x and y values.
plot(x, y)
5th. Step: force your x distance to equal your y-distance in the plot axis('equal’);

Figure 10: MATLAB Results

 Plot Multiple Sine, Cosine wave form in one graph using following
Commands:
1.Title (name & Registration No.)
2.Different color for each waveform.
3.Legend command
4.Axis labelling.

 Code:
>> x=0:pi/100:2*pi;
>> y=sin(x);
>> y1=cos(x);
>> plot(x,y,'g-','k-*');
>> plot(x,y,'g-',x,y1,'k-*');
>> title('Muhammad Shaheer 19pwmct0706')
>> xlable('x axis');
Did you mean:
>> xlabel('x axis');
>> ylabel('y axis');
>> legend('sin(x)','cos(x)')

  Procedure:
 First of all, I selected an in depended variable x, and give it some value as shown in
the code
 Then I took two dependent variable y and y1
 Then I used the plot function to plot their graph
 I also changed their colour by using the required code function as shown in the code
above
 Then I used the title command
 Then for axis’s x and y I used the command xlabel and ylabel commands
 To locate the indication of the graphs plotted I used the legend command

 Now for 3D Plotting:

 Code:
t = 0:pi/50:10*pi;
st = sin(t);
ct = cos(t);
plot3(st,ct,t)

 Code:
p1=[0 0];
p2=[20 20];
line([p1(1) p2(1)],[p1(2) p2(2)])

 For Plotting Arc:
 Code:

xCenter = 1;
yCenter = 1;
radius = 4;
theta =linspace(20, 100, 50);
x =radius * cosd(theta)+xCenter;
y = radius *sind(theta)+yCenter;
plot(x, y,'r-','LineWidth',4);
axis equal;
grid on;

for k=1:length(angle)
x=linspace(cosd(angle(k)),0);
y=linspace(sind(angle(k)),0);
a=linspace(cosd(angle(k)),cosd(angle(k))+2);
z=linspace(sind(angle(k)),0);
x2=linspace(cosd(angle(k))+2.5,cosd(angle(k))+1.5);
y2=linspace(0,0);
plot(x,y,a,z,x2,y2)
