MATLAB Solve MATLAB Index Problem for Graph Labels

[GreenLRan]

I'm having a problem getting my graph labels to work. I get an error saying


"? Index exceeds matrix dimensions.

Error in ==> aeroproject2 at 88
plot(alphaLzero-8:alphaLzero+8,CL(1,1:17)),title('CL vs Alpha'),xlabel('Angle of Attack'),ylabel('CL')"

can anyone help? thanks, and here is the code.

Check the size of CL:

size(CL)

 

[GreenLRan]

I checked the size and it gave me
ans =

1 17
which is the same size as alphaLzero-8:alphaLzero+8

 

[Dr Transport]

check and see if they are both column or row vectors. your error look like that may be the problem.

 

[GreenLRan]

they are both 1 row 17 columns

 

[J77]

"plot(alphaLzero-8:alphaLzero+8,CL(1:17))"

Try (for clarity):

AA=alphaLzero-8:alphaLzero+8;

plot(AA(1,:),CL(1,

(of course, size(AA) should be [1 17])

 

[GreenLRan]

That doesn't work either, Same error..."Index exceeds matrix dimensions"

 

[GreenLRan]

I found that it's a problem with the title() command.. for some reason the title command is causing the error. I took it out, and it works fine.
