FD1D_DISPLAY
Display 1D Finite Difference Data


FD1D_DISPLAY is a MATLAB program which reads a prefix defining a pair of files containing the nodes and values for finite difference data, and displays a plot.

The program is designed for cases in which the independent variable data ranges over a single dimension, either of space, or of time.

Thus, it can be used to display results from a steady-state model of heat, a 1D time-independent boundary value problem, or the time variation of a predator-prey system in which there is no spatial variation.

Usage:

fd1d_display ( 'prefix' )
where 'prefix' is the common filename prefix of:

Examples and Tests:

ARCTAN contains sample data from the arctangent function at 29 non-uniformly spaced nodes.

PAIR shows how a plot is made when there are two columns of data in the "values" file. The first column is a copy of the original ARCTAN data, and the second column is some perturbed values.
