chart ===== Nichols chart Calling Sequence ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: chart([flags]) chart(gain [,flags]) chart(gain,phase [,flags]) Arguments ~~~~~~~~~ :gain real vector ( gains (in DB)) : :phase real vector (phases (in degree)) : :flags a list of at most 4 flags list(sup [,leg [,cm [,cphi]]]) :sup 1 indicates superposition on the previous plot 0 no superposition is done : :leg 1 indicates that legends are drawn, o: no legends : :cm color index for gain curves : :cphi color index for phase curves : : Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ plot the Nichols'chart: iso-gain and iso-phase contour of y/(1+y) in phase/gain plane `chart` may be used in cunjunction with `black`_. The default values for `gain` and `phase` are respectively : `[-12 -8 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1.4 -1 -.5 0.25 0.5 0.7 1 1.4 2 2.3 3 4 5 6 8 12]` `[-(1:10) , -(20:10:160)]` Examples ~~~~~~~~ :: s=`poly`_(0,'s') h=`syslin`_('c',(s^2+2*0.9*10*s+100)/(s^2+2*0.3*10.1*s+102.01)) `black`_(h,0.01,100) chart(`list`_(1,0,2,3)); `clf`_() h1=h*`syslin`_('c',(s^2+2*0.1*15.1*s+228.01)/(s^2+2*0.9*15*s+225)) `black`_([h1;h],0.01,100,['h1';'h']) `set`_(`gca`_(),'data_bounds',[-180 -30;180 30]) //enlarge the frame chart(`list`_(1,0)); See Also ~~~~~~~~ + `nyquist`_ nyquist plot + `black`_ Black-Nichols diagram of a linear dynamical system .. _nyquist: nyquist.html .. _black: black.html
