Summary

We learned a lot in this chapter about Octave functions and plotting.

Specifically, we covered:

  • Octave functions in general.
  • Mathematical functions including how polynomials are represented in Octave.
  • Helper functions.
  • Operator functions.
  • How to calculate the range of more complicated mathematical functions.
  • Two dimensional plotting.
  • How to plot several graphs in the same figure window, subplots, and how to navigate between multiple figure windows.
  • Three-dimensional plotting including contour plots
  • How to change the figure and axis properties

In the next chapter, we will see how scripts can be used to execute a sequence of commands so that you do not need to retype the same commands over and over.
