I made some progress on plotting my Re # and friction factors on this graph. I assigned arrays for Re and the corresponding f values earlier and then I used the loglog function to plot them. A thing to note is if you don't see your line check your values to make sure they're within the bounds of the graph (this stumped me for a while). I also commented out some of the boxes because it was blocking out my data.
function moody(units,paper,name)
% Moody Diagram (R13)
% MOODY(UNITS,PAPER,NAME) generates a four axis, publication quality
% Moody diagram as a PAPER size encapsulated postscript file NAME with
% UNITS. Default units are IMPERIAL. If units are SI, the default
% paper size is A4. If units are IMPERIAL, the default paper size is
% LETTER. The default file name is MOODY.EPS.
% Examples:
% MOODY % writes letter size moody.eps with imperial units
% MOODY SI % writes A4 size moody.eps with SI units
% MOODY IMPERIAL A4 % writes A4 size moody.eps with imperial units
% MOODY SI LETTER % writes letter size moody.eps with SI units
% MOODY SI A4 MOODY.SI.EPS % writes A4 size moody.si.eps with SI units
