Step plot — piecewise-constant series.

Syntax

h = step(y, ...)
h = step(x, y, ...)

Description

Draws a piecewise-constant signal — the value steps to a new level at each x and stays constant until the next. Common for control-system step responses and discrete signals.

Example

step(t, response)
