I am new to matlab coding and I know it's simple that's why I'm trying to plot 2D datas read from a file,but I'm stuck,with my following code I'm reading the x y coordinates and trying to plot specific point with specific indexing according to given criteria ( which is p in my case I won't go too much into details), all I want to know is how can I modify the code so that I can give the correct index to the point that I want to color(i.e when the condition is satisfied plot this specific points with blue or watever),here is my code :
M=load('data1.XYZ');
x=M(:,1); %all x coordinates
y=M(:,2); %all y coordinates
xA=M(1:400,1); % x of particles A
yA=M(1:400,2); % y of particles A
xB=M(401:800,1); % x of particles B
yB=M(401:800,2); % y of particles B
Pos1=[x y]; % read in the x y coordinates
[num1,junk1] = size(Pos1);
PosA=[xA yA]; % read in the x y A coordinates
PosB=[xB yB]; % read in the x y B coordinates
[numA,junkA] = size(PosA);
[numB,junkB] = size(PosB); %no of all B particles
fprintf('Determining Distances between particles...\n');
r = zeros(numA,1);
psil_avg=0.0+0.0i;
psir_avg=0.0+0.0i;
for m=1:numA
for n=1:numA
cnt_l=0;
psi_l=0.0+0.0i;
if(m~=n)
r(m,n)=norm(PosA(m,:)-PosA(n,:));
if(r(m,n)< 1.44)
v1=PosA(m,:)-PosA(n,:);
u=[0 1];
dot=v1(:,1).*u(:,1)+v1(:,2).*u(:,2);
N=norm(v1);
cosinus=dot/N;
theta=acos(cosinus);
cnt_l=cnt_l+1;
psi_l=psi_l+(cos(theta)+6.0i*sin(theta));
psil_avg=psi_l/cnt_l;
for k=1:numA
cnt_r=0;
psi_r=0.0+0.0i;
if(m~k)
r(m,k)=norm(PosA(m,:)-PosA(k,:));
if(r(m,k)< 1.44)
v2=PosA(m,:)-PosA(k,:);
u2=[0 1];
dot2=v2(:,1).*u2(:,1)+v2(:,2).*u2(:,2);
N2=norm(v2);
cosinus2=dot2/N2;
theta2=acos(cosinus);
cnt_r=cnt_r+1;
psi_r=psi_r+(cos(theta2)+6.0i*sin(theta2));
psir_avg=psi_r/cnt_r;
p=sqrt(psi_r*psi_l);
if p > 0.94
% fprintf('bond order parameter is %f\n',p);
plot(xA(n),yA(n),'ro','Markersize',6);
hold on;
else
plot(xA(n),yA(n),'go','Markersize',8);
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
if anyone can help I'd be thankful

Answer 1

Use scatter and the following properties:
'MarkerEdgeColor' — Marker edge color
[0 0 1] (blue) (default) | 'auto' | 'none' | three-element RGB vector | string
'MarkerFaceColor' — Marker face color
'none' (default) | 'auto' | three-element RGB vector | string

Answer 2

Your code is a bit hard to read so I will adress this quiestion in general.
If you have groups of coordinates you would like to plot with different colors say X1,Y1 and X2,Y2 you may do the following
figure
plot(X1,Y1,'r*')
hold on
plot(X2,Y2,'b*')
hold off
This will color the first group in red with a dot and the second with blue and a dot.
The hold on, hold off is made to plot more then one plot on a single axis without clearing the previous one.
As suggested in the comments - you should probably try to avoid looping in matlab.

Answer 3

I could not understand your question clearly. Do you mean like this ? For example if I have two plots
x = linspace(-2*pi,2*pi);
y1 = sin(x);
y2 = cos(x);
figure
plot(x,y1,x,y2)
Do you want different colours say red for 10,blue for 20, green for 30 degrees for both curves ? Is this what you want ? Please specify properly.
