Convert plotted graph to (x,y) coordinates?

9 views (last 30 days)
Hi all,
I have a plotted graph and I wanted to know if it is possible to "convert" the plot by the graph() function to a plot in a (x,y) axis (like a scatter plot), but it is very important that is preserves the look of the plot! Is this possible in any way?
Thank you very much!

I managed to do the individual coloring by inputting a color matrix when I call the scatter function. Is it possible to change the line colors in the scatter plot? Set all of them to black, for example?

Ah yes, I forgot for a moment about specifying the individual colors for scatter().
scatter() plots do not have line colors.
If you are referring to quiver(), then you can use the 'Color' option to set the same color for all of the lines; however, it is not possible to use different colors for different lines in any one quiver() call.

It ain't pretty but it works. As far as I understand there are no simple options you can set to get the look you want.
data = rand(10,4);
qH = quiver(data(:,1),data(:,2),data(:,3),data(:,4),0);
hold on
qH1 = quiver(data(:,1),data(:,2),data(:,3),data(:,4),0);
colorVector = rand(1,3);
qH2 = quiver(data(:,1),data(:,2),data(:,3),data(:,4),0);
colorVector = rand(1,3);
qH.LineStyle = '-';
qH.Color = colorVector;
qH1.LineStyle = '-';
qH1.Color = 'w';
qH1.ShowArrowHead = 'off';
qH2.LineStyle = '--';
qH2.Color = colorVector;
qH2.ShowArrowHead = 'off';
