how do i plot certain columns and rows of a matrix

i have a matrix of 40*7 and I need to plot columns of only 3rd and 6th. How do I do it?

Sorry, I had put my question wrong. I have to plot a line using x and y coordinates of 2 points which are in different columns, how do I do that

Answer 1

[KSSV]

A = rand(40,7) ;
figure
hold on
plot(A(:,6),'r')
plot(A(:,7),'b')

legend('6th column',   '7th column');

Replace 7 with 3 to get "only 3rd and 6th" columns.

Try this

line([x1, x2], [y1, y2], 'Color', 'b', 'LineWidth', 2);

where the x1 and y1 come from one column, and the x2 and y2 come from the second column. If that doesn't work, then post your data sand indicate which elements of the array you want a line drawn between.

line([x0(Elem(i,3)),x0(Elem(i,6))], [y0(Elem(i,3)),y0(Elem(i,6))],'Color','b','LineWidth','2'); this is the code i wrote.

ps: Im using loop to create multiple lines and 'i' is the variable parameter

x0 is column matrix and y0 is other column matrix. to create a line im selecting points from x0 and y0 with reference of Elem matrix but this shows error of "Error using line While setting property 'LineWidth' of class 'Line': Value not a numeric scalar"

Did you see where it said the LineWidth was not a scalar and how you were passing it a string? I said to use 'LineWidth', 2 NOT 'LineWidth', '2'. Do not put the 2 in single quotes.
