phasecircle.m

JLAB is a set of Matlab functions I have written or co-written over the past fifteen years for the p

function[y]=phasecircle(phi,x,r,ar)
%PHASECIRCLE Plots circles to indicate a phase angle.
%
%  PHASECIRCLE(PHI) plots a unit radius  "phase circle" with 
%  phase PHI centered at location (0,0).
%  
%  PHASECIRCLE(PHI,X) plots the circle at complex-valued location X.  
%  PHASECIRCLE(PHI,X,R) uses radius R.  
%  PHASECIRCLE(PHI,X,R,AR) rescales the circle for plot with
%  aspect ratio AR=Y/X.  
%
%  Multliple circles are plotted if PHI,X, and R are arrays of 
%  the same size. If PHI is an array but X is not, X is used
%  as a complex-valued offset in between circles, beginning at 0.
%
%  Y=PHASECIRCLE(...) returns a matrix without plotting.
%
%  Usage: phasecircle(phi)
%         phasecircle(phi,x)
%         phasecircle(phi,x,r)
%         phasecircle(phi,x,ar)
