hello i have a problem with drawing curve on line or by other words
what i have: points on X-axis with their values on Y-axis as show in figure
what i need to do: draw curve between each two points (i don't want to show the figure as lines but as curves)
thank you

I assume you have the variables x and y which are vectors representing the values in the x-component and in the y-component of each point, respectively. Then, try this
% assuming x and y are your variables:
xValues = linspace(min(x),max(x));
yValues = interp1(x,y,xValues,'spline');
plot(x,y,xValues,yValues)

The problem is that MATLAB doesn't know what curve you want, since there is no data between the points you have. You either need more data resolution, or you can tell MATLAB to make a smooth curve by interpolating with a spline:
xNew = 0:0.1:160;
yNew = interp1(x,y,xNew,'spline');
plot(xNew,yNew)
However, remember that the smooth curve is made up by MATLAB, so it could be misleading to show smooth curves if there are not really any in reality.
