MATLAB Demonstration

My favorite MATLAB demonstration was the "2-D Plots" section because I thought I knew all of the 2-D graphs that could be made since I've taken a lot of math classes. The section taught me about such graphs as "stairstep plots" "errorbar plots" and "stem plots". I've been told one of the enlightening things in college is to learn how much you don't know, and I found it interesting that something that seems easy like 2-D plots can have so many graphs you may have never seen or heard of before.
