readmatrix command to plot shape of airfoil in matlab

In MATLAB, you can use 'load' command to read airfoil coordinates data from a txt file. After that, the coordinates are loaded into a matrix and can be plotted using plot command.

Here is some example code of how to do it.

main.m
% Load the airfoil coordinates from a .txt file into a matrix
data = load('airfoil.txt');

% Assign the airfoil coordinates to different variables
x = data(:,1); 
y = data(:,2);

% Plot the airfoil shape
figure; 
plot(x,y);

11 lines

Make sure the txt file containing airfoil coordinates data is in the same directory as the MATLAB code file.
