How do I create this scatter plot?

Hi guys, I have a really big matrix and I am trying to create a scatter plot out of two parameters. However, I want to make t customized based on the value of the number in the 11th column. I want my matrix, X, to have a normal scatter plot (e.g. parameters 1 and 2) and if the value in the 11th column is 1 for the row, it will be a + sign and if that value is zero, it will be plotted as a . sign
Also, the two parameters should already be distinguished by color. Here is a snippet that DOESN'T work:
X = mydata(:,1:10);
X (mydata (:,24) == 200,11) = 1;
hold on
gscatter(X(X(:,11)==1,1),X(X(:,11)==1,2),'b+','Markersize',13)
gscatter(X(X(:,11)==0,1),X(X(:,11)==0,2),'b.','Markersize',13)
gscatter(X(X(:,11)==1,1),X(X(:,11)==1,2),'g+','Markersize',13)
gscatter(X(X(:,11)==0,1),X(X(:,11)==0,2),'g.','Markersize',13)
Thanks!!

gscatter(mydata(:,1),mydata(:,2),ordinal(X(:,11)),'bg','+.');
doc gscatter
Caution--air code but should be close. Order of color and/or symbols may not match desired, etc., ...

Thanks! So I just realized the colors already distinguished the two. Thanks!

Don't guess I follow the comment -- the ordinal variable should cause the color and markers to change accordingly as given in the vectors--so you should from the above get 'b+' and 'g.' for the two categories.
It's just that the input is expected to be a list of CLR,SYM properties, not mixed.
