Hi,
I have 8 points ina data file on which m fitting cubic polynomial.. when i do fitting using cftool den i get a smooth fitting curve..
but if i use polyfit and polyval commands and plot then the fit curve is not that smooth.. how can i get a similar fitting curve like i get in cftool...
plz anybody help me with it

As those who answered this have said, you must use more then 8 points to plot. Otherwise, plot just does connect-the-dots with straight line segments.

If x and y are your data:
x = ...
y = ...
p = polyfit(x,y,3); % Fit data
xp = linspace(min(x), max(x), 200); % Create 200 points linearly-spaced in x
yfit = polyval(p, xp);
Then plot your data as (x,y) and the fit as (xp,yfit).
