Labelling multiple coordinates for later functions

Hi

Im trying to figure out a way to give my data which is a series of 12 different coordinates 'labels' to be able to use thos labels in further functions.

For example i want to label

p1 = [3.61 0.36] as (x1) and (y1)

p2 = [1.51 3.65] as (x2) and (y2)

p3 = [2.69 0.7] as (x3) and (y3)

p4 = [1.98 4.72] as (x4) and (y4)

e.c.t

When you say "label", I think you really mean "index". To achieve that, bundle your data into appropriate matrices:

p=[ 3.61 0.36;
    1.51 3.65;
    2.69 0.7;
    1.98 4.72] 

x=p(:,1); y=p(:,2);

and now you can do, for example,

>> p(1,:)

ans =

    3.6100    0.3600
    
>> x(3)

ans =

    2.6900

>> y(4)

ans =

    4.7200
