Plotting groups of different size separately, also error message: Vectors must be the same length

1 view (last 30 days)
Hello!
I tried plotting some data and got the 'Error using plot. Vectors must be the same length.' error message.
I am trying to plot two sets of data:
G: 0.66, 0.05, 0.51, 0.4
B: 0.15, 0.03, 0.10, 0.62, 0.002, 0.10, 0.07, 0.2
using the following line of code: plot([1 2],[G; B], 'MarkerSize',15)
I know the error message is because the two groups are of different sizes, but is there a way to tell matlab that they are not paired, I just want them separate, but I want them plotted in that format?
Thanks!
Vyte

You have 2 values for x (1 and 2) but you have 4 values in the G vector and 8 values in the B vector. Please give a complete list of all (x,y) coordinates that you'd like to plot.
G = [0.66, 0.05, 0.51, 0.4] % A 1 by 4 row vector.
G = 1×4
0.6600 0.0500 0.5100 0.4000
B = [0.15, 0.03, 0.10, 0.62, 0.002, 0.10, 0.07, 0.2] % A 1 by 8 row vector.
B = 1×8
0.1500 0.0300 0.1000 0.6200 0.0020 0.1000 0.0700 0.2000
y = [G; B] % Concatenate B below G vertically. (Won't work because # columns is different in the two row vectors).
Error using vertcat
Dimensions of arrays being concatenated are not consistent.
plot([1 2],[G; B], 'MarkerSize',15)

For every y value you must have an x value so the ones just makes sure of that. It creates a vector of all 1's since all of the G's are to be plotted with the same x value, not different ones. Same for B -- I made it 2 so it's apart from the G dots.
