A. TRANSLATION BETWEEN MATLAB µ-TOOLS AND Xµ 397
Miscellaneous Utilities
Several utilities are provided in µ-Tools. These are subroutines used by other µ-Tools
functions which may be of more general use.

A.2 Matrix Information, Display and Plotting
Xmath provides matrix/data object size information via a variable window. There is no
Matlab equivalent for this functionality. Command window information can be
obtained via the following functions.
Description µ-Tools function Xmath/Xµ equivalent
matrix information minfo check, size, is
list workspace whos who
Plotting of varying matrices is provided by the Matlab µ-Tools function vplot.As
pdms are a native data object in Xmath, the standard Xmath plot function will
correctly plot a pdm. Multiple calls will overlay the data, even if the domains differ. The
Xµ function ctrlplot is provided for more control specific plots: Bode, Nyquist,
Nichols, log magnitude, etc..
Both Matlab and Xmath allow interactive manipulation of the graphical data and
storage and retrieval of plots from the workspace or the underlying file system.
