I have a curve in which the minimum point is not obvious to the naked eye. For that reason I'm looking to highlight the minimum point using a marker.
Ideally I would highlight the point with a marker and also have its coordinates displayed in text on the figure.
You can do it this way:
%// Example plot
x = 1:10;
y = randn(1,10);
plot(x,y)
%// Marker at minimum
[ymin imin] = min(y);
xmin = x(imin);
hold on
style = 'ro'; %// red circle. Change as needed
markersize = 10; %// change as needed
plot(x(imin), ymin, style, 'markersize', markersize)
%// Text with coordinates of minimum
offset = -.05; %// vertical offset as a fraction of y-axis span. Change as needed.
text(x(imin),ymin+diff(ylim)*offset,['(' num2str(x(imin)) ',' num2str(ymin) ')'])
%// Enlarge y axis so that text is properly seen, if offset is negative
ylim(ylim+[diff(ylim)*offset*(offset<0) 0])
You might also want to enlarge the x axis if the text is close to the left or to the right. It could be done with xlim
in a similar way.
Assuming you know the coordinates of that point, you can do something like:
hold on; % add things to the current figure
plot(x_coord, y_coord, '+r')
This will put a red plus sign at that point.
This should plot the minimum point(s), assuming you have data like y
and x
,
plot(x(y==min(y)),min(y),'o')
adding the text could be trickier depending on what you want, but at least these are the coordinates.
