Hi there! I’m a beginner in working with matlab but maybe someone knows how to deal with this.
I want to plot a few selected graphs out of a matrix. I have for about 30 various doses (first column) 10 times resp (second column) with associated concentration (third column).
Therefore the concentration should be plotted semilogarithmic against time and the graphs should be grouped by the various doses. For the plot I want to select only a few graphs say dose 1 and 2 and not all the available ones. Using the command ‘gscatter' I can group my concentrations by dose but I need to plot a real graph rather than a scatter.

I'm not clear what you mean by a "real" graph. If you want the points connected by lines, you can specify a linestyle after using gscatter:
x = [1;2;5;9];
xx = [x;x;x];
yy = [15-x; 20-2*x; 12-.5*x];
g = [1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3];
h = gscatter(xx,yy,g)
set(h,'LineStyle','-')

Using the same strategy for 'set', it gives me the error as:
Unable to use a value of type matlab.graphics.chart.primitive.Line as an index.

Thanks Tom, this is perfectly working!!
But how can I change my y-axis into semilogarithmic? For the scatter I use the command
h=gscatter(ds.PT,ds.conc,ds.dose)
How can I specify for which dose (say 1 and 2) I want to plot the graphs? If I use the command above I have all graphs in one figure

set(gca,'YScale','log') % to change y axis to log scale
For the other, you probably have to loop:
for j=1:3
subplot(2,2,j);
t = (g==j);
plot(xx(t),yy(t));
title(sprintf('group %d',j));
end

Many thanks! Now it's working!
