How can I make the cycle range symmetric around zero in rainflow ?

3 views (last 30 days)
Hi All
I am using
rainflow( x, 'ext')
but the cycle ranges are not symmetric around zero. How can I make matlab do that ?
This is what I get from RainFlow command :

As you see it seems like you are watching the graph from behind
instead , normally this is what I see as a histogram on internet you can see how the Cycle mean and Cycle average are swapped

After all that (and deleting my first Answer because it was not solving the problem), the solution appears to have turned out to be relatively simple.
This uses an example from the rainflow documentation (specifically, Cycle Counts of Timetable). Try it with your own data:
fs = 100;
t = seconds(0:1/fs:100-1/fs)';
x = randn(size(t));
TT = timetable(t,x);
figure
rainflow(TT) % Original
figure
rainflow(TT)
set(gca, 'View',[60 30]) % Rotated Using A Simple View Call To The Last Plotted Axes
producing this originally:

and after the rotation:
1How can I make the cycle range symmetric around zero in rainflow (2) - 2019 12 25.png
Choose the View vector that produces the result you want.

As always, my pleasure!
I deleted my Answer so someone else could contribute, since my previous attempts were not successful. It turned out that I was just over-thinking this problem.
