horizaontal lines in plots in a defined date
1 view (last 30 days)
Show older comments
I have a time series with dates and outflow measurements. On one hand, I have to plot them, that's not the problem; on the other hand, I need to add to that plot 2 vertical lines to indicate a range of time. I use the datetime function to put together input numbers for example datetime(2016,02,25), that represent the 2 dates for the horizontal lines.
Is there a way I can do that.?

In general you can plot extra lines with hold on. Tip: use ylim to figure out the extent you need to plot the lines.

The code below should work for you. If it does not, please paste all red error text in a comment.
t_special=[datetime(2016,02,25) datetime(2016,03,25)];
t=datetime(2016,01,01):datetime(2016,05,01);
y=sin((1:numel(t))/10)+rand(1,numel(t))/15;
figure(1),clf(1)
plot(t,y)
hold on
y_lims=ylim;
for n=1:numel(t_special)
plot([t_special(n) t_special(n)],y_lims,'k')
end
hold off
