Code for MATlab

use SB temperature data read by either fgetl, fscanf or textscan and plot with waterfall temperature data should be resaved in matrix

modify the waterfall plot to 50% transparency by setting FaceAlpha=0.5 modify the line width to 2

add axes label and title

add axes tick label with month info

add text to show each temperature info by using figure tool box

You can customize the graph more! - change font size, add marker, change colormap, etc submit the codes in script file named MyWaterFall.m, and graph in jpg format

also the txt file is this:

ave.temp ave.high.temp ave.low.temp highest.rec.temp lowest.rec.temp

I've tried to use textscan but I'm not sure how to put it all together.

Here's my code as of now:

myfile=uigetfile; fid=fopen(myfile); if fid==-1 disp('File not available'); myfile=input('Choose another file: ','s'); fid=fopen(myfile); end month=1:12; header=textscan(fid,'%s%s%s%s%s '); avgtemp=header{1}; avghigh=header{2}; avglow=header{3}; highesttemp=header{4}; lowesttemp=header{5}; data=textscan(fid,'%s%f%f%f%f%f'); month=data{1}; ave.temp=data{2}; ave.high.temp=data{3}; ave.low.temp=data{4}; highest.rec.temp=data{5}; lowest.rec.temp=data{6}; [r,c]=size(data); X=[ave.temp,ave.high.temp,ave.low.temp,highest.rec.temp,lowest.rec.temp]; Y=month; Z=header; tempmat=mat(X,Y,Z);

figure

waterfall(tempmat) tempmat.FaceAlpha=0.5; tempmat.LineWidth=2; colormap(cool) xlabel=('Month'); ylabel=('Temp Data'); zlabel=('Temp(F)'); xticks=(1:12); xticklabels({'Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'}) title('SB Monthly Temperature Data') lim([min((lowest.rec.temp)-10),max((highest.rec.temp)+10),1,12])
