Add line to scatter plot markers

I want to connect the scatterplot markers using lines that follow the same colormap. Any leads on how to do this? Code is given below

size = 2;
c = linspace(1,12,length(x));
scatter3(x,y,z,size,c,'filled')

Try using waterfall() or plot(). Attach your data if you still need help.

hows waterfall going to help? i have tried using plot3 but unable to color coordinate the values with the colormap.

Understood, but without your x,y, and z, we can't run your code. It leaves us unable to address your specific issue. We are therefore left making general suggestions that may or may not apply to you.

MATLAB will treat each column of data as a different series. You could reshape X,Y and Z so that the rows represent the hours of the day, and the columns represent the day of the year. Then, plotting using plot3 will automatically make each column (day) a separate line with a different color.

The default settings won't have enough colors for each day of the year. You can specify your own colors, and use the colororder function to define a unique color for each line.

I posted a working example with the dataset you shared in your original post.
