What does plot do?
plot(x, y) creates a 2-D line plot with MATLAB-compatible styling. Inputs may be real row/column
vectors or single-precision gpuArray vectors when a shared WebGPU context is available.
Behaviour highlights
- Both
xandymust contain the same number of elements; mismatched lengths raise errors. - Default styling mirrors MATLAB: blue solid line with circular markers disabled. Line width matches MATLAB's default (approx. 1 pt) but can be adjusted once the interactive window is open.
- Multiple calls to
plotappend to the current figure when users callhold on(future work). - Single-precision gpuArray vectors stay on the device and feed a zero-copy line packer. Double-precision data or dashed/marker-heavy styles fall back to the CPU path automatically.
Examples
plot(0:0.1:2*pi, sin(0:0.1:2*pi));
plot(time, amplitude);
GPU residency
plot terminates fusion graphs. If the inputs are single gpuArrays and the shared plotter
device is active, their buffers are consumed zero-copy by the renderer. Otherwise the tensors are
gathered before plotting, matching MATLAB semantics.
