Version: 1.0

This chart creates a spike raster plot from spike time stamps with optional trial and group data.

• spikeRasterPlot(spikeTimes) create a spike raster plot with the specified spike timestamps. spikeTimes must be a vector of duration values.
• spikeRasterPlot(spikeTimes, trials) create a spike raster plot with the specified trial assignment for each spike time. trials must be a vector of equal length to the spike times and of type categorical or be convertible to categorical.
• spikeRasterPlot() create a spike raster plot using only name-value pairs.
• spikeRasterPlot(___,Name,Value) specifies additional options for the spike raster plot using one or more name-value pair arguments. Specify the options after all other input arguments.
• spikeRasterPlot(parent,___) creates the spike raster plot in the specified parent.
• h = spikeRasterPlot(___) returns the spikeRasterPlot object. Use h to modify properties of the plot after creating it.

• SpikeTimeData (n x 1 duration vector) spike time data.
• TrialData (n x 1 categorical vector) trial assignment of each spike in the SpikeTimeData.
• GroupData (n x 1 categorical vector) group assignment of each spike in the SpikeTimeData.
• AlignmentTimes (n x 1 duration vector) time to use as alignment time for each trial.
• ColorOrder (m x 3 matrix of RGB triplets) list of colors to use for each group.
• XLimits (1 x 2 duration vector) x-limits of the plot.
• XLimitsMode ('auto' or 'manual') mode for the x-limits.
• TitleText (n x 1 string vector) title of the plot.
• SubtitleText (n x 1 string vector) subtitle of the plot.
• XLabelText (n x 1 string vector) x-label of the plot.
• YLabelText (n x 1 string vector) y-label of the plot.
• LegendVisible (scalar matlab.lang.OnOffSwitchState) display the legend or not.
• LegendTitle (n x 1 string vector) title on the legend.

Create a spike raster plot using generated by the helper script createExampleData.

[spiketimes, trials, groups, trialStarts] = createExampleData;
s = spikeRasterPlot(spiketimes, trials, 'GroupData', groups);
s.AlignmentTimes = trialStarts;
s.LegendTitle = 'neuron';
ylabel('Lap')
