Plots in MATCONT

When MATCONT is handled from the command line, then of course all MATLAB plot functionalities can be used. However, MATCONT provides two specific plot functions, namely cpl.m and plotcycle.m.

cpl(x, v, s, e) makes a two or three dimensional plot. This routine automatically places labels at the singularity points.The first three arguments must be the output of a continuation run. The fourth argument e is optional. e is an array whose elements define which coordinates of the system are used. Therefore e must have either 2 components (2D-plot) or 3 components (3D-plot). If e is not given and x has 2 (respectively 3) components, then a 2D-plot (3D-plot,respectively) is drawn. In all other cases an error message will be generated.

The use of plotcycle is discussed in §7.3.
