tips how to use simulink better - Part 2

some days ago i posted about how to use simulink better. Now there is more information from Set. You can find the new posting on how to use simulink better and faster here.
Here are some of the pictures of the original post:

How to change the color of the grid without changing the color of the ticks

Have you ever tried to change the color of the grid in a plot? right, the color of the axis changes as well. it is not possible to set the color of the grid separately. There is a good workaround here.
ezplot('x')
grid on
set(gca,'Xcolor',[0.85 0.85 0.85])
c_axes = copyobj(gca,gcf);
set(c_axes, 'color', 'none', 'xcolor', 'k', 'xgrid', 'off', 'ycolor','k', 'ygrid','off');

this will generate gray grids, like in the picture above.

advanced use of reshape

on this posting i explained how to use reshape. Now i want to share with you a good idea i had today.

The idea is to use reshape to acces some part of a vector. Lets say, A is a vector with 35040 entries (365 days, 24 hours, 4 values per hour... 4 values per hour one year long). If you want to make a sum of A for every day, you can do that with a for-loop. this isn't very fast. Instead of that, you can use reshape:

B=reshape(A,24*4,[]);

B is a 96 (one day) x 365 Matrix. Then, you can just make sum(B) and you have the sum of all days into a vector without using any loop!

SETAXES: A matlab function to change axes parameters. Best to add latex commands to the ticks in Matlab

Thie file SETAXES (by Mukhtar Ullah)is prety cool. It allows you to introduce LaTeX commands into the ticks of a plot, very important if you plan to make good-looking plots.

reshape - How to reshape a Matrix or a Vector in Matlab

The following code transforms a Matrix A

A =

1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20

into a vector, in the order shown in A.

reshape(flipud(rot90(A)),[],1)

convert a vector into a matrix in matlab

i was searching for the way to convert a vector into a matrix with matlab and i found (good) ways to do it.
the first one is using reshape (link with examples), the second is using vec2mat (link with examples).
