Convert discontinuos angles to continuous angle

Hi, I need help to convert discontinuous angles to continuous angle in my plots, anyone to help me? I saw something to matlab simulink, but I would want to change in code. Thank you for your help.

For other words, I have this plot,

and I want to convert for this plot,

Best wishes, Paulo Oliveira

 idx=theta>0;

 theta(idx)=theta(idx)-360;

[Paulo Oliveira]

Both improve the function, but it is not the solution for my problem. Thanks.

[Paulo Oliveira]

Matt J, What was your reasoning to apply this formula? Explain me, to try modify. Thanks. Best wishes

[Matt J]

Your figure makes it looks like the positive theta have been pushed up by a simple uniform 360 degree jump relative to the desired curve. I proposed just to subtract that jump off again.

[Paulo Oliveira]

Yes, your reasoning is right, but I have too negative theta, the image is not real is just a example, but I put my matrix for you test, ok?

See the plot and you understand me, perfectly :)

Thanks Best wishes

[Matt J]

You could also try unwrap().

[Paulo Oliveira]

I already tried unwrap, but this function is just used in rad and in Biomechanics the rad is the SI, but the athletes understand better in degrees. Yes, unwrap is a solution, but I like more your first idea, I have explore more.

[Matt J]

but this function is just used in rad

Working in degrees would be just a simple modification

unwrap(thetaDegrees*pi/180)*180/pi;

[Paulo Oliveira]

Yap, it works perfectly. Thank you very mush. ;)
