I need my Scatter plot to be color scaled: I've only had limited success with Scatter3(inputs), no luck with dot commands.
30x3 Matrix of Data
[ 1 2 0]
[ 2 3 9]
...
I tried creating a color scale as directed in help function, only the edge color changed.
c = [ 0 0 .1]
[ 0 0 .2]
...
Scatter3(,,,c) Doesn't work as directed.
Dot notation and paired variables only accepts scalar...
h = scatter3(x,y,z,100,'filled');
h.Marker = 'o';
h.MarkerEdgeColor = 'k'; //Won't take a matrix

When I modified the "Vary Marker Color" example from the scatter3 documentation page to add the 'filled' option to the scatter3 call, it worked as I expected.
If you show the code you wrote where you tried to create a color scale, we may be able to offer some guidance about why it didn't work as you expected and how to correct it.

You are correct sir, adding 'filled' solved the issue.
