How to make countour plot zoomed out

2 views (last 30 days)
For the following code, my plot displayed is zoomed in too far, so I can't view all of the area I would like to. How do I adjust this so I can see the whole thing.
The object in the plot is multiple squres inside of each other.
MATLAB CODE:
function HeatTransfer ()
%i=1;
%j=1;
k=3.1;
hi=85.0;
ho=12;
Ti=380;
To=15;
x=.0010;
y=.0010;
T=ones(21,14);
itermax=1000000;
iter=1;
%Interior Node
%while i<=21 && j<=14
while iter<itermax
for i=6:16
for j=5:10
T(i,j)=380;
end
end
for i=2:5
for j=2:13
T(i,j)=(T(i,j+1)+T(i,j-1)+T(i+1,j)+T(i-1,j))/4;
end
end
for i=6:16
for j=2:4 %|| j=11:13
T(i,j)=(T(i,j+1)+T(i,j-1)+T(i+1,j)+T(i-1,j))/4;
end
end
for i=6:16
for j=11:13
T(i,j)=(T(i,j+1)+T(i,j-1)+T(i+1,j)+T(i-1,j))/4;
end
end
for i=17:20
for j=2:13
T(i,j)=(T(i,j+1)+T(i,j-1)+T(i+1,j)+T(i-1,j))/4;
end
end

Simplest way to doing this is by setting the axis limits.
Here i am just mentioning one example.
contour(T)
xlim([-20 20]) % Here -20 to 20 are x axis limit. As i can see you are plotting just 'T' your x data may be just index of data points, so might your limit start from 0 to number of data points.
ylim([-10 10]) % Similar to x also limit the y
