Strings with an alias against tokens in MATLAB

Question

Hi, I have an image in MATLAB

and I want the line to be smooth - look at the line from 0.4 to 0.8 ... it's terrible. When using the operation "LineSmoothing", 'on' on the chart, I get this

I work well on lines, but it also smooths out markers, and they are terrible.

How can I get MATLAB to smooth only lines, not markers?

Here is the code:

clear all; close all; bpp = [0.8 0.4 0.2 0.1 0.05]; bpp_j = [0.8 0.4 0.2 0.1]; AAE_JPEG = [1.65 2.91 6.20 10.96]; AAE_JPEG_2000 = [1.39 2.29 3.78 6.75 12.52]; AAE_EEDC = [2.08 2.67 3.80 5.94 9.31]; hold on; plot(bpp_j, AAE_JPEG, 'k','LineWidth',1.5,'MarkerSize',9,'MarkerEdgeColor','k','LineSmoothing','on'); plot(bpp, AAE_JPEG_2000, 'k', 'LineWidth',1.5,'MarkerSize',6,'MarkerEdgeColor','k','LineSmoothing','on'); plot(bpp, AAE_EEDC, 'k', 'LineWidth',1.5,'MarkerSize',6,'MarkerEdgeColor','k','LineSmoothing','on'); plot(bpp_j, AAE_JPEG, 'x','LineWidth',1.5,'MarkerSize',8,'MarkerEdgeColor','k'); plot(bpp, AAE_JPEG_2000, 'o', 'LineWidth',1.5,'MarkerSize',6,'MarkerEdgeColor','k'); plot(bpp, AAE_EEDC, 'v', 'LineWidth',1.5,'MarkerSize',6,'MarkerEdgeColor','k'); LL = plot(rand(1,2),rand(1,2),'k-x','visible','off','LineWidth',1.5,'MarkerSize',8); LK = plot(rand(1,2),rand(1,2),'k-o','visible','off','LineWidth',1.5,'MarkerSize',6); LI = plot(rand(1,2),rand(1,2),'k-v','visible','off','LineWidth',1.5,'MarkerSize',6); legend([LL,LK, LI],'JPEG','JPEG 2000','EEDC') axis([0 0.9 0 14]) xlabel('bpp'); ylabel('AAE'); grid on; 

and while I'm still here ... how can I only display 0.05 0.1 0.2 0.4 and 0.8 on the x axis?

Answer 1

I would just try using export_fig even without linesmoothing lines ...

Answer 2

I don’t have MATLAB here, so I can’t test, but it works if you draw smooth lines without markers

 plot(bpp_j, AAE_JPEG, 'k','LineWidth',1.5,'LineSmoothing','on'); 

then another marker plot without lines?

 plot(bpp_j, AAE_JPEG, 'x','MarkerSize',8,'MarkerEdgeColor','k');
