Mat lab linspace.
In this article we will understand a very useful function of matlab called linspace.
Y logspace a b generates a row vector y of 50 logarithmically spaced points between decades 10 a and 10 b the logspace function is especially useful for creating frequency vectors.
One is the colon operator and the other is the linspace function.
There are two principal ways to create vectors in matlab.
The principal difference is that with the colon operator you define the interval between successive elements and let the length of the resulting vector vary and in linspace you define the length of the vector and the function calculates the interval to fit the length.
The linspace function generates linearly spaced vectors.
It is similar to the colon operator but gives direct control over the number of points.
Lin in the name linspace refers to generating linearly spaced values as opposed to the sibling function logspace which generates logarithmically spaced.
Using linspace 1 n n 1 360 is incorrect if the spacing between the points is meant to be 1 360.
Matlab function reference.
See my answer below and the cyclist s comment above richard on 19 jan 2012.
The function is the logarithmic equivalent of linspace and the operator.
Y linspace x1 x2 n generates n points the spacing between the points is x2 x1 n 1.
Linspace is similar to the colon operator but gives direct control over the number of points and always includes the endpoints.
