PLTSTMP

25 May 2004 (Updated 27 Jul 2004)

PLTSTMP adds a timestamp and name of the calling script to a graph.

This file was a File Exchange Pick of the Week

File Information

Description

PLTSTMP adds a timestamp to the bottom of the figure. If it is called from within a function it also adds the name of the calling function.

The timestamp sometimes plots over the x-axis label. To avoid this, the axis can be shifted vertically.

Example:
>> type tst

x = [1:.1:10];
plot(x,sin(x))

pltstmp

>> tst

MATLAB release

MATLAB 7 (R14)

26 Aug 2004	stan shepherd	Very nice -- This is a good complement/alternate to Doug Hull's "Suptitle" from earlier this year.
02 Sep 2004	Delia Klingbeil	I love the idea....but... Why can't I get mine to work?? When I use "pltstmp" without arguments I get an error in line 49. When I use it as "pltstm('test')" I'm told not enought inputs?? I know what "nargin" is , but what does "nargin<1" mean? Can you help me? Thanks
02 Sep 2004	Delia Klingbeil	I fixed my problem, there was a problem with the download. Sorry. It works fine now.
18 Nov 2008	Johannes Sarnthein	Great function which I use a lot. Recently, I have experienced that pltstmp affects subplot.m by messing up the sizes of subplots. May this have started with R2007b? Is there a update for pltstmp possible? Thanks!

Updates
06 Jul 2004	Fixed the problem that the timestamp disappeared when zooming into the picture and some bugs in the documentation of the syntax.
27 Jul 2004	In Matlab 7, DBSTACK syntax has changed so that the full path of the m-file was not shown.
