marginhist.m

2D scatterplot w/marginal histograms.

Description

This function creates a 2D scatterplot from two data vectors, and puts a univariate histogram for each vector at the horizontal and vertical axes of the plot.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.5 (R13)

Would be great to have a switch to turn on or off either axis (for instance time-series data). Also would be wonderful to have hlines or vlines for std's whenever desired. (or a colored transparent rectangle showing 1 std)

Also would be wonderful to allow for multiple data sets. :) [I'm sure I can come up with more for you to code as well... great submission!]

is there any way to use this function in a subplot? Thanks!

[Scott McKinney]

This function is quite good. However, for aesthetics, it would be nice to have that supporting line on the x-axis histogram as well as on the y-axis histogram.

This can be achieved by replacing
subplot(2,2,4); bar(cx,-nx,1); h2 = gca; axis([xlim -max(nx)*1.01 0]); axis('off');

with

subplot(2,2,4); bar(cx,-nx,1); line(xlims,[0 0],'Color','k'); h2 = gca; axis([xlim -max(nx)*1.01 0.01]); axis('off');

Perfect, should be included in future matlab versions.
