As for me and depending on my experience, Matlab is the best flexible plotting software. The Matlab figures have the following features:
1. Automatically adjustable resolution with respect to the graph size in the word file with high colorful resolution with small sizes.
2. Easy to draw lots of figures using a fixed codes unlike the GUI software you need to edit every figure.
3. Small figure sizes.
4. The majority of SCI journals required the .fig files of the paper graphs such as Elsevier.
5. Open your imagination and creativity to create your own figure design
6. Very useful and convenient if you are doing simulations with Matlab or Simulink since you can plot the result directly.
7. Easy to reedit again and easy to save either .fig file or .tif photos.
Dear Mohamed,
welcome,
The merits of the matlab plot function is fully addressed by you. I would like to add easy to use with very simple syntax.
I could not tell that it is the best plotting tool ever existing but i could tell that it is better than Excel plot function for example.
Also, i would like to say that all simulators have their own plot functions that may be comparable to that of the matlab. For example the pspice and the TCAD for circuit and device simulators.
Best wishes
Dear Mohamed,
I fully do agree with you. In addition, it is easy to import a MATLAB figure into your Tex file either in journals/conferences or in your thesis. Also, it gives you the suitable extensions to have a good resolution in the presentations using ppt.
