Why won't my line functions display their lines?

1 view (last 30 days)
This function takes in x-, y- and z-coordinates of a plane from X, Y, and Z. Then it imports the coordinates of a cube (centered over the origin) and is supposed to plot a parallel projection of the cube onto the plane (using the point on the plane that I calculate here).
I can't figure out why my line functions at the end won't work, when the ones I use for my drawCuboid() function work just fine.
function drawParProjCuboid(X,Y,Z)
%draw parallel projection of cuboid on oblique plane
%figure;
hold on;
%plane points are within X, Y, & Z
%Get cube points
fid=fopen('inFileCub.txt','r');
R=fscanf(fid,'%f');
for i=1:24
if i>=1 && i<=8
x(i)=R(i);
end
if i>=9 && i<=16
y(i-8)=R(i);
end
if i>=17 && i<=24
z(i-16)=R(i);
end
end
