Passing the Function as a Character Vector

Array multiplication, division, and exponentiation are always implied in the expression you pass to ezpolar. For example, the MATLAB^® syntax for a plot of the expression

t.^2.*cos(t)

which represents an implicitly defined function, is written as

ezpolar('t^2*cos(t)')

That is, t^2 is interpreted as t.^2 in the character vector you pass to ezpolar.

Passing a Function Handle

Function handle arguments must point to functions that use MATLAB syntax. For example, the following statements define an anonymous function and pass the function handle fh to ezpolar.

fh = @(t) t.^2.*cos(t);
ezpolar(fh)

Note that when using function handles, you must use the array power, array multiplication, and array division operators (.^, .*, ./) since ezpolar does not alter the syntax, as in the case with character vector inputs.

Passing Additional Arguments

If your function has additional parameters, for example k1 and k2 in myfun:

function s = myfun(t,k1,k2)
s = sin(k1*t).*cos(k2*t);

then you can use an anonymous function to specify the parameters:

ezpolar(@(t)myfun(t,2,3))
