paperPlot¶

This helper function generates a plot of a Pulseq sequence in a style suitable for scientific publications. It allows customization of various aspects of the plot's appearance, such as line width, axes color, and the colors of different gradient and RF components.

Syntax¶

function sp = paperPlot(varargin)

Calling Pattern¶

seq.paperPlot(...)

Parameters¶

Optional Parameters¶

Name	Type	Default	Description	Example
`blockRange`	numeric array	`[1 inf]`	Specifies the range of blocks in the sequence to be plotted. It's a two-element vector [first last], where 'first' and 'last' are the indices of the first and last blocks to include, respectively. Defaults to plotting the entire sequence. Valid values: Two-element numeric array	`[5 10]`
`lineWidth`	double	`1.2`	Specifies the width of the lines used in the plot. Valid values: Positive numeric value	`2.0`
`axesColor`	char or 1x3 numeric array	`[0.5 0.5 0.5]`	Specifies the color of the horizontal axes. Can be a standard color name (e.g., 'red', 'blue'), a hexadecimal RGB string (e.g., '#FF0000'), or a 1x3 vector of RGB values (e.g., [1 0 0]). Valid values: Valid MATLAB color specification	`'black'`
`rfColor`	char or 1x3 numeric array	`'black'`	Specifies the color of the RF and ADC events in the plot. Uses the same color specification as axesColor. Valid values: Valid MATLAB color specification	`[0 1 0]`
`gxColor`	char or 1x3 numeric array	`'blue'`	Specifies the color of the X gradients in the plot. Uses the same color specification as axesColor. Valid values: Valid MATLAB color specification	`'red'`
`gyColor`	char or 1x3 numeric array	`'red'`	Specifies the color of the Y gradients in the plot. Uses the same color specification as axesColor. Valid values: Valid MATLAB color specification	`'green'`
`gzColor`	char or 1x3 numeric array	`[0 0.5 0.3]`	Specifies the color of the Z gradients in the plot. Uses the same color specification as axesColor. Valid values: Valid MATLAB color specification	`'cyan'`
`rfPlot`	char	`'abs'`	Specifies how RF pulses are plotted: 'abs' for the magnitude, 'real' for the real part, or 'imag' for the imaginary part. Valid values: 'abs', 'real', 'imag'	`'real'`

Returns¶

Output	Type	Description
`sp`	double	Handle to the generated figure.

Examples¶

sp = seq.paperPlot();
sp = seq.paperPlot('blockRange', [10 20], 'lineWidth', 2, 'rfColor', 'red');
