This class will demonstrate how to use MATLAB to create data visualization and animation for publications or presentations. We will discuss many plotting functions and techniques available in MATLAB and learn how to use these commands to handle and customize your graphics in practice. The materials include simple 2D/3D plots to present scalers and vectors, filled plots to handle continuously spatial data, geographic plots to deal with geographic information, animation to show variation in temporal data. Matplotlib used in Python will be also introduced so one can easily apply these plotting techniques in Python.
We will discuss using Markdown (a light-weight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax) for technical writing, including the support of LaTeX-style mathematics typesetting and bibliography. The approach can be applied to writing dissertation, research manuscripts, presentation slides, and web pages from the same set of source files. A number of documentation-building tools around the Markdown format will be introduced. We will also discuss using GitHub and Travis CI for version control and automatic building of documents and web pages.
