I love how the Loma Prieta Earthquake demo works because it deals with a very complex real-life situation in an understandable way. The demo is a proof that MATLAB indeed makes engineering problems much simpler. In this case, the plots represent in details the data behavior in a user-friendly way, with colors, all the data compacted in one sole window, interval marks and the program goes in-depth to analyze the plot, making sense out of all this complicated data.
