How do I use xline() to plot values calculated in a for loop?

I am trying to plot a set of vertical lines where each line's x-value is i/d where i iterates from 1 to d and d is a denominator that is calculated based on user input, beta. My code looks like this:

[n, d] = numden(sym(beta));

for i = 1:d
    x(i) = i/d;
end

xline([x])

But I get this error:

Error using matlab.graphics.internal.xyzline

Value must be one of the following: 'numeric' | 'datetime' | 'categorical' | 'duration'

Error in xline (line 35)

h = matlab.graphics.internal.xyzline('x', args);

If beta = 0.75, then x = [1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1], which is exactly what I want. I have noticed that if I manually set x to be [1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1], then it works, but if i use the for loop to calculate x, it does not work despite x being, as far as I can tell, identical. Is what I'm wanting to do possible?

Your x is going to be symbolic based on the code you posted (you can verify this by using the whos in the Command Window or by looking in the Workspace window). If you must calculate x symbolicly, you can convert it to numeric using the double command.

That did it. Thanks!

You are quite welcome.
