simple dot plot

I have just started an applied statistics course and I need to do a simple dot plot on discrete data. I can find the histogram plots and many other plots but not a simple dot plot. Is there a matlab function that can do this?

By "dot plot" do you mean a SCATTER plot?

help scatter

Or if the "dots" are the same size, just plot individual points:

x = rand(1, 10);
y = rand(1, 10);
plot(x, y, 'o') % No line specifier in the LineSpec => no line

Check out plot(x,y, properties) .. it is possible to off-set the line.
Eventually, scatter() .. less preferable.
