Dear developers, I started developing a Matlab code for the graphical representation of power flow solutions in matlab. I think it could be a good functionality to have in Matpower, in order to get an immediate overview of the solution. The representation can be improved a lot to portrait more information and to be more organized. I attach some examples to this email.
*9busPF.png* This figure shows the power flows (only the real power) for the 9bus case study. The lines show the power flows. The arrow shows their direction. Their color and width is proportional to the power carried. The power flows are explicitly represented. The generation buses are red, the load ones are green, the interconnecting ones are blue and the ones with both load and generation are magenta. Their size is proportional to the power generated/absorbed. *24busPF.png* In this case the graph is more minimalistic. *DC_OPF.png* In this case, the lines who reached their transmission capacity are shown in red. If you are interested, I can share the code and we could work on it together to improve it. Thanks and best regards, Antonio Pepiciello
