Hey everyone, when I plot my matrixs it works but now I want to add some color. I want the colors at each point to depend on the x and y coordinate so x+y. I hope that makes any sense. So the higher that x+y value is for a point the higher the color intensity is.
x = [0.5:2:18] ;
y = [30:10:100] ;
[a,b] = meshgrid(x,y);
plot(a,b,'ko',a, a+b,'ko');
colormap
ans = 256×3
0.2422 0.1504 0.6603 0.2444 0.1534 0.6728 0.2464 0.1569 0.6847 0.2484 0.1607 0.6961 0.2503 0.1648 0.7071 0.2522 0.1689 0.7179 0.2540 0.1732 0.7286 0.2558 0.1773 0.7393 0.2576 0.1814 0.7501 0.2594 0.1854 0.7610

It sounds like you're looking for
x = [0.5:2:18] ;
y = [30:10:100];
[a,b] = meshgrid(x,y);
c = a(:)+b(:);
scatter(a(:),c,80,c,'filled')
colorbar

I also want to plot a and a+b on the same graph, how should I do that?

Plot one, then hold on, then plot the second.
