>> delete(p2)
3) Change background color of a plot
>> set(gca,'Color',[0.8 0.8 0.8])

29) How to assign a different name to variable loaded to the workspace by the command ‘load’ that is inside a ‘struct’ field?
If A is the field and you don’t know the name of the variable inside it do:
>> B = getfield(A,char(fieldnames(A)));
char(fieldnames(A)) gets the name that you don’t know §
30) BUG
When you try to save workspace variables into a directory that has a LONG pathname (i.e. C:\ Docs and Settings \ ...) exactly more than 259 characters (filename included) then the program will say that the variable you want to save IS NOT in the workspace. Id est, it doesn’t exist even though it ACTUALLY DOES. SOLUTION Simply reduce the name length of the file and the pathname. J
31) To change/reduce the dimension order of a tensor.
A has 4 dimensions.
>> B = permute(A, [3 2 1 4]); The dimensions will be reordered as 1st à 3rd ; 2nd à 2nd ; 3rd à 1st ; 4th à 4th.
If a do: B = permute(mean(A,1), [3 2 1 4]); then I’m reducing one entire dimension to an integer. To reduce that from the tensor, I move that dimension to the end using permute.
Alternative: to reduce singletons (size(A,dim)==1): Let’s say that size(A) = 2 2 1 2;
>> squeeze(A) -> [2 2 2]
33) To plot a graph without actually showing the values in both axis do:

>> h = legend('6.0','4.0','3.5','3.1','2.8','...','Location','SouthEast');
>> v = get(h,'title');
>> set(v,'string','Rainfall Rates [in/hr]','BackgroundColor',[.7 .9 .7],'FontWeight','bold');
38) Use a vector as a legend and add text (“mm/hr” in this case)
>> legend([num2str(VECTOR) repmat(' mm/hr',length(VECTOR),1) ])
39) Solve numerically a ODE but with changing variables. Use anonymous functions. Note that only z,v are declared variables, while the others come from the workspace.

40) Recover “Centered and Scaled” variables while fitting a curve. The original variables are “x” and “y”. “pol_y” is the fitted polynomial

>> p1 = plot(x,y);

startingVals = [4 17 28 3 2];
drops = 1:38; drops = drops(:);
y = [0.2086 0.1484 0.1579 0.340... % These is the data to fit...has 38 elements
coefEsts = nlinfit(drops, y, modelFun, startingVals)
xgrid = linspace(1,38,38);
line(xgrid, modelFun(coefEsts2, xgrid), 'Color','g'); hold
plot(drops,y,'o')
23) Convert symbolic expression to double precision numbers

25) Find something inside a cell
>> [truefalse, index] = ismember(Cell,'FindThis');
26) Substitute a value in a symbolic expression
>> subs(f_x,x,1);
27) Interpolate a value between 2 values of a vector (equation).
>> VPoints1 = interp1(winds,VPoints,wind_of_interest); % winds is “x”, VPoints is our function f(x), and winds_of… is value not in “x” for which we want to find the value in VPoints.
28) Save a TIFF figure with resolution of 300 dpi from current figure.
>> print -dtiff -r300 picture1

>> set(h2,'LineStyle','-','Marker','o','LineWidth',3);
>> set(get(ax(1),'Ylabel'),'String','Label Goes Here!!!')
>> set(get(ax(2),'Ylabel'),'String','Label Goes Here!!!')
>> set(ax([1 2]),'XTick', linspace(50,130,9)); <- Set the number of ticks in the x-axis (yes, there’s 2!)
>> set(ax([1 2]),'XLim', [50 130]) <- Set the limits of the x-axis (yes, there’s 2!)
>> axis(ax,'square') <- Both axis have to be set to square…
32) Remove the white margin around figures (from http://tipstrickshowtos.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-to-get-rid-of-white-margin-in.html)
a) Do you plot
b) Make boundaries tight

34) Format x-axis to datestring
>> datetick('x','dd/mmm/yy')
35) Functions available for fitting / Library of models.
