| Table of the most useful commands for plotting graphs |

Allows plotting several graphs on the same figure. All commands after this one apply to a current figure, until the hold off command is used. |
| plot([x1 x2], [y1 y2]) |
plots the straight line between points (![x_{1}]( "x_{1}") , ![y_{1}]( "y_{1}") ) and (![x_{2}]( "x_{2}") , ![y_{2}]( "y_{2}") ) |
| axis([minX maxX minY maxY]) |
specifies axis limits |
| legend(‘y1=equation1’, ‘y2=equation2’) |
sets the labels for the legend (must be after plot command) |
| xlabel(‘label for x axis’) |
sets the label for the ![x]( "x") - axis |
| ylabel(‘label for y axis’) |
sets the label for the ![y]( "y") - axis |
