Plotting four plots when only two plot

7 views (last 30 days)
This is my code. Im expecting to get 4 graphs but it only plots 2 at a time! how can i fix this?
Thank you
clear all

clc
mu = 398600;
minutes = 60; %Conversion from minutes to seconds
x0 = [10000; 0; 0];
v0 = [0; -5.8; 0];
Y0 = [x0; v0];
t0 = 0;
tf = 1440*minutes;
options = odeset('RelTol', 1e-8, 'AbsTol', 1e-8) ;
[t,Y] = ode45(@twobodyEOM, [t0 tf], Y0, options, mu);
plotit(t, Y, minutes)
x=Y(:,1);
y=Y(:,2);
plot(x,y);

%...Position vs time:

Add figure calls to create new figure windows, otherwise the plots will occur on existing figure windows, and over-write the previous plots:
mu = 398600;
minutes = 60; %Conversion from minutes to seconds
x0 = [10000; 0; 0];
v0 = [0; -5.8; 0];
Y0 = [x0; v0];
t0 = 0;
tf = 1440*minutes;
options = odeset('RelTol', 1e-8, 'AbsTol', 1e-8) ;
[t,Y] = ode45(@twobodyEOM, [t0 tf], Y0, options, mu);
figure % <— ADD
plotit(t, Y, minutes)
x=Y(:,1);
y=Y(:,2);
figure % <— ADD
plot(x,y);
title('2D Trajectory')
xlabel('x position, km')
ylabel('y position, km')
grid on
grid minor
axis('equal') % <— ADD (Optional)
R = sqrt(Y(:,1).^2 + Y(:,2).^2 + Y(:,3).^2);
V = sqrt(Y(:,4).^2 + Y(:,5).^2 + Y(:,6).^2);
e=((V.^2)/2)-mu./R;
figure % <— ADD
plot(t,e)
title('Specific Energy vs. Time')
xlabel('Time')
ylabel('Specific Energy')

grid minor
There is no reason to quote the functions here, so I do not. They are not changed, regardless.

The subplot command is subplot(2,1,1) which means 2 rows and one column. If you need 4 graphs at the same time you should use subplot(2,2,1),subplot(2,2,2), subplot(2,2,3), and subplot(2,2,4).
If you want two graph over each other, after the first plot use this command:
hold on;
