I am trying to achieve a magnitude binary plot, where y shows the binary magnitude for the 8 bits. Others have addressed this question through plotting individual bits, but the goal to show the whole 8 bits, represented as one number (i.e. 00000001 = 1), magnitude in binary form on the plot.
Here is the code:
% Magnitude
binMag = [00000001; 00000010; 00000100]
% binary string representation of decimal 1, 2, 3
% Tried to convert bin to a double
binTodouble = str2double(binMag);
figure;
stairs(binTodouble)
Overall, my goal is to have a plot like the one below showing magnitude in binary.
Taking the idea from Cris Luengo into account, you'll get the following short script. I just wanted to add how to specifically set the xticklabel
and yticklabel
as you wanted it to have in your plot.
% Binary values
bValues = { '00000000',
'00000001',
'00000010',
'00000011',
'00000100',
'00000101' };
% Double values
dValues = bin2dec(bValues);
% Output
figure(1);
stairs(dValues, dValues);
set(gca, 'xtick', dValues, 'xticklabel', dValues);
set(gca, 'ytick', dValues, 'yticklabel', bValues);
