how to make dot-plot of table?

Hello!

I have a table file where I want to plot just the numeric data in a dot plot

Here is the table1:

           scan1 scan2 scan3
subject 1    2      1    1
subject 2    1      NaN  2
subject 3    2      2    NaN

I turn my table into a cell and then into a mat file in order to be able to make a dotplot.

numbers = table2cell(table1)
numbers = cell2mat(numbers)

scatter(numbers(:,1), numbers(:,2), numbers(:,3)) 

where my error is:

I want my final figure to look as follows:

If you are using a quite recent version of MATLAB, then

scatter3(table1, 'scan1', 'scan2', 'scan3')

Otherwise,

scatter3(table1.scan1, table1.scan2, table1.scan3)

thanks for all of your help! I am using matlab2019b. I am getting an error that says:

not enough input arguments.

here is my actual table:

here is my code now:

%try1
scatter3(rad1_cap, 'T1MEMPRAGE', 'SWI', 'T2_', 'Flair')

and here is the second try:

scatter3(rad1_cap(:,2:5), 'T1MEMPRAGE', 'SWI', 'T2_', 'Flair')

Thanks so much!

R2019b does not support scatter3() of table variables, so you will need that second form that I posted.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I had also tried:

scatter3(rad1_cap, rad1_cap.T1MEMPRAGE, rad1_cap.SWI, rad1_cap.T2_, rad1_cap.Flair)

scatter3(rad1_cap(:,2:5), rad1_cap.T1MEMPRAGE, rad1_cap.SWI, rad1_cap.T2_, rad1_cap.Flair)

but am getting the error:

inputs must be numeric, dateime, or categorical

any suggestions? sorry to be such a pain!
