yline

Syntax

h = yline(y)

h = yline(..., property, value, ...)

h = yline(hAxes, ...)

Inputs

y

Constant point y of the horizontal line.

Type: double | integer

Dimension: scalar | vector

property

Properties that control the appearance or behavior of the graphics object.

Type: string

Dimension: scalar

value

Value of the properties.

Type: double | integer | string

Dimension: scalar | vector

hAxes

Axis handle.

Type: double

Dimension: scalar

Outputs

h

Handle of the line graphics object.

Examples

Simple yline example:

clf;
h = yline(2);

Figure 1. Horizontal line at y = 2

Create horizontal lines and set properties example:

clf;
x=[0:0.1:3*pi];
plot(x, sin(x)); 
h = yline([-1;1],'color','r','linestyle','--');
ylim([-1.5 1.5])

Figure 2. Create 2 lines and set properties

Comments

If there is no axis, one will be created first. If y is an Mx1 matrix then M horizontal lines will be created.
