Hey all,
Everytime I try to plot something I get the following error:
Error finding class matlab.graphics.chart.primitive.Line.
For example,
>> plot(x, y)
Error using plot
Error finding class matlab.graphics.chart.primitive.Line.
Thank you!

Before reinstalling MATLAB, a slightly smaller hammer that might resolve the problem (if the cause is a corrupted MATLAB search path) would be to try restoredefaultpath.

Hi Jack,
The error message you're seeing suggests that MATLAB is having trouble locating the class definition for the Line object, which is a fundamental part of MATLAB's plotting system. This could be due to several reasons, such as a corrupted MATLAB installation, issues with the MATLAB path, or problems with Java on your system.
Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:
- Ensure that the MATLAB path has not been altered to exclude important directories. You can reset the path to the default by using the command:
restoredefaultpath;
rehash toolboxcache;
matlab.graphics.chart.primitive.Line;
2. Sometimes, clearing the Java cache can resolve issues related to MATLAB's Java-based components:
clear java;
3. Try reinstalling the MATLAB as there might be a deeper issue with the MATLAB installation.
