Scatter Plot Won't work (Error using scatter The specified superclass 'matlab.gr​aphics.mix​in.DataPro​perties' contains a parse error)

Hi all,

I am trying to get a scatter plot and keep getting the following error:

Error using scatter

The specified superclass 'matlab.graphics.mixin.DataProperties' contains a parse error, cannot be found on MATLAB's search path, or is shadowed

by another file with the same name.

I have tried everything on the forums where people are having similar issues, tried reinstalling and tried using a different version of matlab. nothing will work. I have reset my search path, used "which -all "scatter", and used rehash.

Here is the code I wrote:

scatter(1,1) %to test scatter

Error using scatter

The specified superclass 'matlab.graphics.mixin.DataProperties' contains a parse error, cannot be found on MATLAB's

search path, or is shadowed by another file with the same name.

Please share the code you ran and the full error message i.e. all of the red text.

matlab.graphics.mixin.DataProperties is a built-in class, so if you are not able to find it on your search path, that suggests a serious issue with your MATLAB installation.

You've already tried all the approaches I would recommend to fix this issue (check your path, or reinstall MATLAB).

My recommendation would be to contact technical support for help with this question.

But, I'm curious about a few things:

• What version of MATLAB are you running?
• Have you recently upgraded MATLAB? If so, has scatter ever worked in this installation of MATLAB?
• What is the output from these three commands:

which -all matlab.graphics.mixin.DataProperties
which -all pathdef
which -all startup
