%% Code that i used to creat that figure. %% I am trying to connect the dots to all nearby dots. %% To make 9 node element like as shown below. there will be Nx*Ny elements of this type.
clc ; clear;

Nx = 3 ; % Number of Elements along X-axes
Ny = 3 ; % Number of Elements along Y-axes

nel = Nx*Ny ; % Total Number of Elements in the Mesh
nnel = 9 ; % Number of nodes per Element
% Number of points on the Length and Breadth
npx = 2*Nx+1 ;
npy = 2*Ny+1 ;
nnode = npx*npy ;
nx = linspace(0,L,npx) ;
ny = linspace(0,B,npy) ;
[xx yy] = meshgrid(nx,ny) ;
% To get the Nodal Connectivity Matrix
coordinates = [xx(:) yy(:)] ;
NodeNo = 1:nnode ;
nodes = zeros(nel,nnel) ;
NodeNo = reshape(NodeNo,npx,npy);
%
nodes(:,1) = reshape(NodeNo(1:2:npx-2,1:2:npy-2),nel,1);

%%
X = zeros(nnel,nel) ;

for iel = 1:nel
Y(:,iel) = coordinates(nodes(iel,:),1) ;

In order to help we need the code that you used to create that figure (at least the line that plots the .)

Also, are you trying to connect the dots to just one other dot, to all other dots, or all "nearby" dots (like "connect the dots")?

Try using the following code to plot:
%% Plot
lw = 2; % LineWidth
ms = 15; % MarkerSize
figure
xlim([-0.2 1.2])
ylim([-0.2 1.2])
hold on
for i = 1:Nx
plot([x1(i) x4(end-Nx+i)],[y1(i) y4(end-Nx+i)],'k-','LineWidth',lw);
end
plot([x2(Nx) x3(end)],[y2(Nx) y3(end)],'k-','LineWidth',lw);
for i = 1:Ny
plot([x1(Nx*(i-1)+1) x2(i*Nx)],[y1(Nx*(i-1)+1) y2(i*Nx)],'k-','LineWidth',lw);
end
plot([x4(Nx*(Ny-1)+1) x3(end)],[y4(Nx*(Ny-1)+1) y3(end)],'k-','LineWidth',lw);
plot(x1,y1,'b.','MarkerSize',ms)
plot(x2,y2,'b.','MarkerSize',ms)
plot(x3,y3,'b.','MarkerSize',ms)
plot(x4,y4,'b.','MarkerSize',ms)
plot(x5,y5,'b.','MarkerSize',ms)
plot(x6,y6,'b.','MarkerSize',ms)
plot(x7,y7,'b.','MarkerSize',ms)
plot(x8,y8,'b.','MarkerSize',ms)
plot(x9,y9,'b*','MarkerSize',ms)
hold off
The expected output for Nx=3 and Ny=3 is:

If you want to display a grid, it will dpend on the XTick and YTick values. Have a look at those properties at: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlab.graphics.axis.axes-properties.html#budumk7-XTick
