Syntax

stem(y)

stem(x, y)

stem(x, y, attributes)

stem(x, y, 'filled', attributes)

Description

Generates a stem plot. You can use stem plots to display an impulse response. stem plots y as stems originating in x. stem(y) plots the columns of y against the indexes of the columns. If x and y are real vectors, stem(x, y) plots y against x. stem(x, y, attributes) plots y against x using the specified attributes. stem(x, y, 'filled', attributes) plots y against x using the specified attributes and uses solid circles for the stem plot.
