Scatter plot matrix - MATLAB plotmatrix (2024)

Create X as a matrix of random data and Y as a matrix of integer values. Then, create a scatter plot matrix of the columns of X against the columns of Y.

X = randn(50,3);Y = reshape(1:150,50,3); plotmatrix(X,Y)

The subplot in the ith row, jth column of the figure is a scatter plot of the ith column of Y against the jth column of X.

Create a scatter plot matrix of random data. The subplot in the ith row, jth column of the matrix is a scatter plot of the ith column of X against the jth column of X. Along the diagonal are histogram plots of each column of X.

X = randn(50,3); plotmatrix(X)

Create a scatter plot matrix of random data. Specify the marker type and the color for the scatter plots.

X = randn(50,3); plotmatrix(X,'*r')

The LineSpec option sets properties for the scatter plots. To set properties for the histogram plots, return the histogram objects.

Create a scatter plot matrix of random data.

rng defaultX = randn(50,3);[S,AX,BigAx,H,HAx] = plotmatrix(X);

To set properties for the scatter plots, use S. To set properties for the histograms, use H. To set axes properties, use AX, BigAx, and HAx. Use dot notation to set properties.

Set the color and marker type for the scatter plot in the lower left corner of the figure. Set the color for the histogram plot in the lower right corner. Use the title command to title the figure.

S(3).Color = 'g';S(3).Marker = '*'; H(3).EdgeColor = 'k';H(3).FaceColor = 'g'; title(BigAx,'A Comparison of Data Sets')

S — Chart line objects for scatter plots
matrix

Chart line objects for the scatter plots, returned as a matrix.These are unique identifiers, which you can use to query and modifythe properties of a specific scatter plot.

AX — Axes objects for subaxes
matrix

Axes objects for the subaxes, returned as a matrix. These areunique identifiers, which you can use to query and modify the propertiesof a specific subaxes.

BigAx — Axes object for big axes
scalar

Axes object for big axes, returned as a scalar. This is a uniqueidentifier, which you can use to query and modify properties of thebig axes.

H — Histogram objects
vector | []

Histogram objects, returned as a vector or []. These are unique identifiers, which you can use to query and modify the properties of a specific histogram object. If no histogram plots are created, then H is returned as empty brackets.

HAx — Axes objects for invisible histogram axes
vector | []

Axes objects for invisible histogram axes, returned as a vectoror []. These are unique identifiers, which youcan use to query and modify the properties of a specific axes. Ifno histogram plots are created, then HAx is returnedas empty brackets.
