Make a vertical spacing plot - matlab

Question

I need to make a B-scan data from a chunk of A-scan data. The A-scan data that I received are arranged in such a way that the row resembles the amplitude of the each point of the A-scan data and the column represents each A-scan data gathered.
This is how my data looks like:
4855 4641 4891 4791 4812 4812
4827 4766 4862 4745 4767 4785

-16915 -15742 -15908 -17398 -19600 -20143
This is just the sample of the data. It is in .txt format.
A-scan data
B-scan data
The problem I am facing is to plot this data into a b-scan data. Matlab would be great (Though other methods would be great too). Please share your way of plotting this B-scan data.

Answer 1

Scilab
On Scilab you can use the read function. It reads formatted texted files, and you need to know at least the number of columns. To add vertical spacing, you should add a constant value i*d for each whole column, where i is the column number.
I put the example you gave in a text file so I could read it, than I plotted it.
//read(): first argument is file path
// (or file name, if you change current directory)
// second argument is number of lines (-1 if unknown)
// third argument is the number of columns
B = read("file.txt",-1,6);
d = 1000; //vertical spacing
Bs = B; //copy of the original data
for i = 1 : size(Bs,'c')
//loop adding constant to each column
Bs(:,i) = Bs(:,i) + (i-1) * d;
end
//simply plot the matrix
plot2d(Bs);
The result in Scilab is:
MATLAB
In MATLAB, you can use the importdata function, which also reads formatted text files, but the minimum necessary is the file name. You should also add the vertical spacing manually.
%call importdata() after changing current directory
B = importdata("file.txt");
d = 1000; %vertical spacing
Bs = B; %copy of the original data
for i = 1 : size(Bs,2)
%loop adding constant to each column
Bs(:,i) = Bs(:,i) + (i-1) * d;
end
%plot the modified matrix
plot(Bs);
The result in MATLAB is:
