Dear All
I am having problem in plotting i have a series of time data using:
out = datestr(ymdhms,'yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS');
ymdhms was extracted from a text file.
I want to plot it against another: longi =
256.242843281354
296.110093347349
296.882496353185
296.94437904219
138.658299669575
339.725337924464
339.894431814869
338.304313807115
222.2399243596
222.3367026132
222.460979592124
222.463301950309
>> whos longi
Name Size Bytes Class Attributes
longi 975x1 7800 double
whos out
Name Size Bytes Class Attributes
out 975x19 37050 char
I get the error when plotting:
>> plot(out,longi)
Error using plot
Invalid first data argument
How can I plot with time of my interest? Below is my code for further understanding:

You cannot plot a datestr (i.e. out which is a str) against an integer (long: please try to use a variable name other than long )
plot(ymdhms,long)
datetick('x',yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS')
if it is in datenum format
otherwise
out=datenum(ymdhms,'yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS');
plot(out,long)
datetick('x',yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS')
