LineMarks

Adds "line marks" in order to label and identify constant values or allows to highlight data intervals on MATLAB

How to use this function:

Simply create your MATLAB figure and then execute the function "LineMarks" as follows:

LineMarks(x_initial,x_end,y_pos,marks,mark_names,mark_size,line_style,line_width,tick_width,mark_color,mark_dx,mark_dy)

where (see image below):

x_initial: Initial position for common horizontal line

x_end: Final position for common horizontal line

y_pos: Vertical position for common horizontal line

marks: Float (int or double) array with all the horizontal values for the vertical ticks

mark_names: Cell array with the labels for each mark (use '' for empty)

mark_size: Markers size (font size)

line_style: Line style for all the lines ('-' solid line, '--' dashed line, ':' dotted line, '-.' dash-dot line)

line_width: Line width for all the lines

tick_width: Vertical tick width

mark_color: Color for both markers and lines

mark_dx: Horizontal spacing between lines and labels

mark_dy: Vertical spacing between lines and labels
