Matlab usage

= How to make a simple plot =
Suppose during the measurements we obtain the following data
fir each parameter 'I' we measured 'V' with a particular uncertainty  dV.
Our data is represented in the following table.

|| I   | V   | dV  |
|  .1  | 1.0 | 0.2 |
|  1.0 | 2.2 | 0.1 |
|  1.8 | 3.2 | 0.2 |
|  3.3 | 3.8 | 0.2 |
|  4.0 | 4.9 | 0.3 |

First of all,  we need to transfer  it to the Matlab  vector variables. Pay
attention to the delimiter **;** between numbers

``` 
I  = [ .1;  1.0; 1.8; 3.3; 4.0 ]
V  = [ 1.0; 2.2; 3.2; 3.8; 4.9 ]
dV = [ 0.2; 0.1; 0.2; 0.2; 0.3 ]
```

Now we make a simple plot without error bars to get  the basic, text after
**%** is considered as a comment and matlab will disregard it.

```
figure(1) % all plotting output will go to the particular window
plot(I,V) 
```

Easy, is not it?

But  **every plot**  must be  present with  title, proper  axes labels  and
units. Note **'** for the string specifiers


No our plot is nice and pretty.

= Plotting with error bars =
Let's open a new window for the plot

``` figure(2)

Now we make plot with error bars assuming that they are the same for up and down parts

``` errorbar(I,V,dV)

Yet again we need proper labeling

``` 
title('Dependence of voltage on current')
xlabel('Voltage (V)')
ylabel('Current (A)')
```
