thanks for reply on scatter plot
i got nice plot using.
>> scatter(a(:,1), a(:,2), 'r')
>> hold on;
>> scatter(b(:,1), b(:,2), 'g')
>> scatter(c(:,1), c(:,2), 'b')

what can i do to get the points as small * , or filled dots insted of big circles.

Sorry, the 1 is the dot size that has to appear before the color matrix.
I mentally jumped over the fact that it would be considered as the y
coordinate.

Well, yeah, in that event .. I remember that I also hit on this problem at some point and instead used plot() that supports setting the marker size (controlling how big your * or circles etc .. are). This property is described in the link I sent you, so normally you would be able of seeing that. But as today I managed _not_to see_ something which obviously was there it is my duty to answer your question.

% black-edged circles, blank inside
plot(x,y, 'ko','LineWidth',1,'MarkerEdgeColor','k','MarkerSize',3);

% black-edged circles, red inside
plot(x,y, 'ko','LineWidth',1.5,'MarkerEdgeColor','k', 'MarkerFaceColor', 'r','MarkerSize',3);

Note that you control the thickness of edge of your symbols by line width, whereas the size of your symbols by marker size.

PS Please ML Expert, do correct me in the event scatter() supports this stuff as well or whatever typo, I'm too tired and no expert. Thanks.

It's good to pay attention to what Walter writes. I just now discovered that
scatter(a(:,1),a(:,2),4,'r')
will indeed work. If you replace 4 by 1 as Walter wrote, you_will_create scatter dots, but they are almost invisible and all you would think you see is a blank set of axis.

one of the many solutions

% the data
g1=rand(2,2);
g2=rand(3,2)+1;
g3=rand(5,2)+2;
cm=[[1,0,0];[0,1,0];[0,0,1]].'; % <- colors/grp
ms=[20;50;80]; % <- size/grp
% the engine
v=[g1;g2;g3];
gx=[1,size(g1,1),size(g2,1),size(g3,1)];
gx=cumsum(accumarray(cumsum(gx.'),1));
gx(end)=[];
% the result
scatter(v(:,1),v(:,2),ms(gx),cm(gx,:),'filled');
