How do I change the colors of my data points in a scatter plot?

8 views (last 30 days)
Attached below is the code I am working with and the associated excel sheet. I need to be able to change the data point's color from the default of blue to red. I am relativly new to MatLab so explanations of code when answering would be greatly appricated but not necessary.
depth = xlsread('942 Raw data.xlsx', 'Sheet1', 'I:I');
bulkdensity = xlsread('942 Raw data.xlsx', 'Sheet1', 'L:L');
graindensity = xlsread('942 Raw data.xlsx', 'Sheet1', 'N:N');
porosity = xlsread('942 Raw data.xlsx', 'Sheet1', 'O:O');
voidratio = xlsread('942 Raw data.xlsx', 'Sheet1', 'P:P');
data = [depth bulkdensity graindensity porosity voidratio];
%%
data = sortrows(data,1);
depth = data(:,1);
bulkdensity = data(:,2);
graindensity = data(:,3);
porosity = data(:,4);
voidratio = data(:,5);
%%
depth = [0;depth];
N = diff(depth);
a = (bulkdensity - 1.024)*9.81.*N/1000;
Ov = cumsum(a);
%%
figure(1)
plot(porosity,depth(2:end),'.');
axis ij
xlabel ('Porosity(%)');
ylabel ('Depth(m)');
hold on
%%
figure(2)
semilogx(Ov,voidratio,'.');
xlabel('Sv');
ylabel('voidratio');
hold on

Here is a link to the documentation explaining what the options and syntax are for changing line properties (including color) in plot (semilogx has the same options and syntax for this).
Below is how you might make those two plots red:
depth = xlsread('942 Raw data.xlsx', 'Sheet1', 'I:I');
bulkdensity = xlsread('942 Raw data.xlsx', 'Sheet1', 'L:L');
graindensity = xlsread('942 Raw data.xlsx', 'Sheet1', 'N:N');
porosity = xlsread('942 Raw data.xlsx', 'Sheet1', 'O:O');
voidratio = xlsread('942 Raw data.xlsx', 'Sheet1', 'P:P');
data = [depth bulkdensity graindensity porosity voidratio];
%%
data = sortrows(data,1);
depth = data(:,1);
bulkdensity = data(:,2);
graindensity = data(:,3);
porosity = data(:,4);
voidratio = data(:,5);
%%
depth = [0;depth];
N = diff(depth);
a = (bulkdensity - 1.024)*9.81.*N/1000;
Ov = cumsum(a);
%%
figure(1)
plot(porosity,depth(2:end),'r.');
axis ij
xlabel ('Porosity(%)');
ylabel ('Depth(m)');
hold on
%%
figure(2)
semilogx(Ov,voidratio,'r.');
xlabel('Sv');
ylabel('voidratio');
hold on
