How to mark different values with different colors and markers

18 views (last 30 days)
Hi,
I have a complex data values:
Z = X+iY =
0.1 0.2
-75.7 1.1
-1.0 4.1
-2.0 4.3
-1.7 5.6
-0.9 7.3
0.0 7.3
0.7 5.1
1.2 0.0
-1.3 9.0
-0.9 5.1
0.0 0.2
0.0 0.0
The first column is values of X axis (real) and second column value is Y axis (imaginary)
What I want to do is: Plot all 13 points with different color and marker and marksize.
-----------------------------
I tried this approach:
plot(Z(1,:),'g+','MarkerSize',10, Z(2,:),'c^','MarkerSize',8, .....)
-----------------------------
^^ But this approach is not working!!
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

if true
--------------------------------------------------- code start
This is an example for your case
Input is "Input_Data", two dimension matrix
Marker_Counter=1;
figure6=figure;
Markers = {'+','o','*','x','v','d','^','s','>','<'};
for i=1:10:size(Input_Data,1)
TPR=Input_Data(i:i+9,7);
FPR=Input_Data(i:i+9,8);
plot(FPR,TPR,strcat('-',Markers{Marker_Counter}));
Marker_Counter=Marker_Counter+1;
hold on
end
plot([0.5 1],[0.5 1],'--');
legend('Minpts = 100','Minpts = 200','Minpts = 300','Minpts = 400','Minpts = 500','Minpts = 600','Minpts = 700','Minpts = 800','Minpts = 900','Minpts = 1000','','Location','SouthEast');
xlabel('FPR or (1-Specificity)','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold'); ylabel('TPR or Spensitivity)','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold');
title('ROC Space');
close(gcf);
-------------------------------------------- code end
end

plot creates a line object and the above are all global properties of the line.
To put them on as differently you'd have to place each point with scatter which is what it seems you're looking for, anyway.
doc scatter
for more details; reply herein if that doesn't solve the problem.

It is working.. Thanks..
Can you please tell me how to display each coordinates text (max till 2 decimal) over each point in the graph.
I tried this for first point:
scatter(Z_real(1,:), Z_imag(1,:), 100, 'r', 'x')
text(Z_real(1,:),Z_imag(1,:),num2str(Z_real(1,:),Z_imag(1,:)))
But it is not showing good results.
Means I want name above the point in the form of real and imaginary (like x+iy) form.
Thanks in advance.

That's because all your markers are 'r', which is red, not the different colors like you want. Pass in an N by 3 array instead, like jet(size(Z_real, 1)).

Basics are as follows--
fmt=['%.2f + %.2fi']; % build a format string for complex
scatter(Z(:,1),Z(:,2)) % plot the points
text(Z(:,1),Z(:,2),num2str(Z,fmt)) % label them per the formatting
Salt to suit; your values overlap enough may need to do some selective placement or orientation to be able to read 'em all.

x=linspace(0,2,100);
figure;
for a=[0.1 0.5 1 2 4]
y=x.^a; %The function is hypothetical
if a == 0.1 %Any color can be substituted
y=x.^a;
plot(x,y,'k') %Now choose the color
hold on
elseif a == 0.5
y=x.^a;
plot(x,y,'b') %Now choose the color
hold on
elseif a==1
y=x.^a;
plot(x,y,'g') %Now choose the color
hold on
elseif a==2
y=x.^a;
plot(x,y,'r') %Now choose the color
hold on
elseif a==4
y=x.^a;
plot(x,y,'y') %Now choose the color
hold on
grid on
end
