scatter

  • For examples, see Matlab Graphics - Scatter Plots.

  • scatter(x,y,<sz>,<c>) creates a scatter plot with circles at the locations specified by the vectors x and y, sized by sz and colored by c

    • Size:
      • To plot every circle at the same size, specify sz as a scalar
      • To use a different size per point, specify sz as a vector with the same length as x and y
    • Color:
      • To use a single color for every circle, specify c as a color name or an RGB triplet
      • For varying colors, specify c as a vector or a three-column matrix of RGB triplets
  • scatter(___,'filled') fills in the circles

  • scatter(___,mkr) specifies the marker type

  • scatter(___,Name,Value) modifies the chart using one or more name-value pair arguments

  • scatter(ax,___) plots into the axes specified by ax instead of the current axes

  • s = scatter(___) returns the Scatter object
