How do I plot 2 arrays against each other so that each row of the arrays corresponds to each data point

2 views (last 30 days)
I have two arrays named XCoords and YCoords, each 6x4 and I would like them to be plotted so that each of the first rows are plotted against each other, then each of the second rows, etc.
clc
clear
x = 3;
y = 3;
Setupx = [0:x].';
Setupy = [0:y].';
X = [0 0 1 1 0 1];
Y = [0 1 1 0 0 1];
XCoords = X + Setupx
YCoords = Y + Setupy
plot(XCoords,YCoords)
xlim([-1 5])
ylim([-1 5])
When x is changed to 0, the correct output is given but is only for one row.

I'm not really sure what the correct output is supposed to be. If it's supposed to be crossed boxes in a diagonal,
x = 3;
y = 3;
xoffset = 1;
Setupx = [0:x].' * xoffset;
Setupy = [0:y].';
X = [0 0 1 1 0 1];
Y = [0 1 1 0 0 1];
XCoords = X + Setupx;
YCoords = Y + Setupy;
plot(XCoords.',YCoords.')
xlim([-1 5])
ylim([-1 5])
If the boxes are supposed to be stacked vertically, you can set the xoffset to 0 (or otherwise simplify the code).

Sorry no I meant like this:
I did this manually but I need it so that the code does however many rows and columns of boxes as x and y.

I'm assuming you want them plotted as one curve per block, so:
% specify the number of blocks
nblocksx = 4;
nblocksy = 4;
% block offsets
osx = 0:nblocksx-1;
osy = 0:nblocksy-1;
[osx osy] = meshgrid(osx,osy);
% curve for one block
X = [0 0 1 1 0 1];
Y = [0 1 1 0 0 1];
% combine coordinates to form multiple curves
XCoords = X + osx(:);
YCoords = Y + osy(:);
plot(XCoords.',YCoords.')
xlim([-1 5])
ylim([-1 5])
