Ploting

I am trying to plot something in matlab and cannot get anything but the axis showing up..

I have a 6x6 matrix with sind(i) and cosd(i) in it, where i is an angle I need to vary from 0 to 30 degrees. My code I am using is

for i = 0:1:30
A= [-1 0 0 0 0 1; 0 -1 0 1 0 0; -1 0 1 0 1 0; (.3*(cosd(i))) 0 0 0 0 0; ((-.3*(sind(i))+.4)) 0 0 0 .8 0; (.3*(cosd(i))) 0 0 -.8 0 0];
C = [0; 0; 981; 98.1; 490.5; 0];
D=inv(A);
F=D*C;
plot(F(6,:),i);
end
 
Where F= [P, Ryb, Rzb, Rya, Rza, Rxa] and I need the plot of Rxa verse i (0-30 degrees).

I am not very familiar with matlab so this maybe completely wrong but please help.

  You need to do a "hold on" so that the successive points plotted do not erase previous points. If you look carefully at your plot you should see the last surviving point there as a single tiny point for i = 30.

  Another way is to store successive values of Rxa in an array and do the plot on this array versus the array 0:30 .

Is the vector 'A' significant to somthing? Was it just a matrix you need to recreate?

In addition to Roger's suggestion, you might also consider replacing

plot(F(6,:),i);

by

plot(F(6,:),i, 'o');

or some other marker. Read the help for plot to learn more...
