I need your help again :). I'm trying to plot multiple lines for a very large dataset. To start easier, I divided the dataset to get a TABLE in Matlab that contains 6 columns, with the first column representing the date that I want on my x-axis. Now I want to plot the other columns (and in the original file are a lot more than 6 columns) on the y axis, using a for loop. I tried the following, with no success:
hold on
for i=2:1:6
plot(Doldenstock(:,1), Doldenstock(:,i));
end
hold off
As I understand this, this code would do exactly what I want for columns 2,3,4,5,6. However, I always get the same error code:
Error using tabular/plot
Too many input arguments.
Error in Plotting_bogeo (line 6)
plot(Doldenstock(:,1), Doldenstock(:,i));
Now, I don't know if maybe for loops like this don't work for tabes but only for arrays?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Cheers,
Tamara
The function plot(x) expect x to be a scalar, a vector, or a matrix. But in your case the input is a table, because accessing a table with parentheses return a table, which is not supported.
If you read the doc "how to access data in a table" you will figure out that you need to use curly brace {} to extract the raw data (in your case a 1D matrix).
So use:
plot(T{:,1},T{:,2})

I'm trying to add legends the plot when it adds a curve. I can't see whats wrong with my code, can someone please help? I'm using matlab r2015a on ubuntu.
x=1:5;
v=1:5;
plot(x,v)
[~,~,plots,str] = legend('1');
hold on
for i=4:10
pl=plot(x,v*i);
[~,~,plots,str]=legend([plots;pl],str,num2str(i))
end
when i run it i get:
plots =
1x2 Line array:
Line Line
str =
'1' '4'
Error using vertcat
Dimensions of matrices being
concatenated are not
consistent.
So its means it works the first lap but not the second.
As discussed in the comment, the way Matlab handles legends is different than in earlier releases; they are now legend objects.
In any case, to solve your problem, which is a dimension mismatch problem, you can simply concatenate vertically the outputs you get using the transpose operator, because Matlab returns a horizontal array of line and text objects whereas you want a vertical array. Therefore, using plots.' and pl.' works fine. Also, it's good practice not to use i as a loop counter since it represents the imaginary unit.
clear
clc
close all
x=1:5;
v=1:5;
plot(x,v)
[~,~,plots,str] = legend('1');
hold on
for k=4:10
pl=plot(x,v*k);
[LegendObject,~,plots,str]=legend([plots.';pl.'],str,num2str(k));
end
%// Use the legend object to modify its properties/location
set(LegendObject,'Location','NorthWest');

I'm trying to finish a program and for some reason, the matrix I loaded into Matlab is messing with the ability to select the rows inside it. I'm trying to select all the rows in the matrix and see which values match the criteria for a Live setting. However I can select specific values/sections of the matrix in the command window without issue. Why is this happening? Any ideas?
It appears to only happen when in a for loop, I can do it just fine when it's on its own.
The syntax is: for x = start:stop. I think you are trying to do a for to the whole "A" matrix. You can split "A", according to its format (e.g. if is a table split in two variables).

Richardd is right on; you're trying to iterate on a matrix, no good.
If I read you right, you're trying to run through your A matrix one column at a time, and see all the rows in that column? Assuming that is correct...
Your A matrix is 14x3, so you should go through your for loop 3 times, which is the size of your column dimension. Luckily, there is a function that MATLAB gives you to do just that. Try:
for iColumn = 1:size(A,2)
...
end
The size function returns the size of your array in a vector of [rows, columns, depth...] - it will go as many dimensions as your array. Calling size(A,2) returns only the size of your array in the column dimension. Now the for loop is iterating on columns.
I want to read data from .txt file to plot a 3D graph in matlab. The data looks like this
T_hor T_ver V_hor V_ver
8,833 -15,43 -11,871 23,604
3,121 -22,78 -9,949 41,712
-8,012 -26,28 -4,317 33,790
-12,697 -20,99 6,948 22,314
-11,960 5,68 2,079 0,469
4,279 -22,17 -10,002 39,791
Each column I've imported as a separate column Vector say T_hor,T_ver,V_hor,V_ver. Now I want to read first 4096 rows of this individual column vector 'T_hor' and then the next 4096 rows of the column vector T_hor. This applies for every column. My Goal was to compute FFT for the 4096 set of values incrementally and store them as column vectors.I was previously using this command to read the values into different column vector.
x1 = T_ver(1:4096);
x2 = T_ver(4097:8193);
I want to make the code look more Logical and avoid unnecessary lines of code. So I tried applying for loop for this but I think I'm doing it in a wrong way.
for X
X = (1:LastValue:4096);
end
I think Vectorization can be more easy and consumes less execution time. Can anyone give me a direction or hints on how to implement this.
Im having an issue specifying particular lines in a structure and plotting them.
I use tblread to take data from a file:
table_data = tdfread(table,',');
The table has both numerical and text data, looks a bit like this:
protocol,num_nodes,scale_physical,density,trace,reliability
etx,50,4.7045454546,4.94,heavy,72.7
nh,50,3.8275862069,4.96,heavy,64.27
rtt,50,4.5454545455,5.12,heavy,50.44
etx,50,3.8275862069,4.88,light,93.33
nh,50,4.7272727273,4.94,light,82.45
The resultant data type is a scalar structure called table_data. I can plot each column against each other using:
scatter(table_data.scale, table_data.reliability)
What I would like to achieve is to plot specific elements in the columns defined by a value in another column. Eg. plot the scale vs reliability where protocol = "nh".
Essentially I would like to achieve this end result like:
scatter(table_data.scale(table_data.protocol='nh'), table_data.reliability(table_data.protocol='nh'),'r')
hold on
scatter(table_data.scale(table_data.protocol='rtt'),table_data.reliability(table_data.protocol='rtt'),'b')
To differentiate the two types of points on the plot.
Is there any way of achieving this in a manor alluded to above.
Thanks.
EDIT:
solution is as follows:
scatter(table_data.scale(table_data.protocol=='n'),table_data.reliability(table_data.protocol=='n'), 'r')
hold on
scatter(table_data.scale(table_data.protocol=='e'),table_data.reliability(table_data.protocol=='e'), 'b')
In the structure The text is held as array or characters rather than a cell. table_data.protocol then points only references the first character in the array.
I think you want to replace the single equals in:
scatter(table_data.scale(table_data.protocol='nh'), table_data.reliability(table_data.protocol='nh'),'r')
to be a double equals like:
scatter(table_data.scale(table_data.protocol=='nh'), table_data.reliability(table_data.protocol=='nh'),'r')
i.e. you want a comparison operation instead of an assignment operation.
I am trying to read an excel 2003 file which consist of 62 columns and 2000 rows and then draw 2d dendrogram from 2000 pattern of 2 categories of a data as my plot in matlab. When I run the script, it gives me the above error. I don't know why. Anybody has any idea why I have the above error?
My data is here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/383549074/data.xls
Please delete the 2001 column if you want to use the data for testing.
and my code is here:
% Script file: cluster_2d_data.m
d=2000; n1=22; n2=40; N=62
Data=xlsread('data.xls','A1:BJ2000');
X=Data';
R=1:2000;
C=1:2;
clustergram(X,'Pdist','euclidean','Linkage','complete','Dimension',2,...
'ROWLABELS',R,'COLUMNLABELS',C,'Dendrogram',{'color',5})
After the xlsread statement you should get a 2000x62 double matrix Data. Then you transpose it and assign to X, so X is 62x2000 matrix. In the clustergram vectors for the properties RowLabels and ColumnLabels are supposed to match the size of your Data, but you pass a 2000-length vector as RowLabels and 2-length vector as ColumnLabels. This might cause the error.
What version of MATLAB are you using? It looks like pretty old, since you have clustergram as function, but in later versions of Bioinformatic Toolbox it was redesigned as object. In R2010a your code would generate
"ROWLABELS size does not match data"
but I'm not sure what it would be in old version.
Try to remove RowLabels and ColumnLabels, as well as other properties. Do you still get the error?
