Specifying filenames, overwriting files, and updating graphs at their unique URLs
By default, Plotly will create a new file when you call fig2plotly
.
To overwrite a graph, include 'filename', 'my-graph'
as the last arguments:
x = linspace(-2pi,2pi); y1 = sin(x); y2 = cos(x);fig = figure; plot(x,y1,x,y2);
response = fig2plotly(fig, 'filename', 'matlab-basic-line'); plotly_url = response.url;
If a graph named "matlab-basic-line" already exists in your account, then it will be overwritten with this new version and the URL of the graph will persist.
Saving to a folder
Filenames that contain "/"
be treated as a Plotly directory and will be saved to
your Plotly account in a folder tree.
For example, to save your graphs to the folder my-graphs
:
fig2plotly(fig, 'filename', 'my-graphs/matlab-basic-line');
If the folder doesn't exist, it will be created.
Creating new files
x = linspace(-2*pi,2*pi); y1 = sin(x); y2 = cos(x); fig = figure; plot(x,y1,x,y2); response = fig2plotly(fig); plotly_url = response.url;
Without specifying a filename, Plotly will always create a new file. If a
file with the same name already exists, then Plotly will append a '(1)' to the end
of the filename, e.g. basic-line (1)
and create a unique URL.
