how to plot binary input

my data matrix has 19 rows and 396 columns.

row 1=[0 1 0 1......]
row 2=[1 0 1 1 1 0...]
.
.
row 19=[0 1 0 1 0 0..]

how should I code this using plot function in Matlab ? given below:

if(bit==0)
   X axis= X++;
   Y axis= Y++;
   /*graph will show increment by 1 */
else
  X axis = X++;
  Y axis = Y--;
  /* graph will show decrements by 1*/

for example: row 1=[0 0 1...] row 2=[1 0 1...] take row 1 first bit is 0 so point must plot on (1,1) next bit is 0 so point must plot on (2,2) next bit is 1 so plot on(3,1) and so on take row 2 first bit is 1 so plot on (1,-1) next bit is 0 so plot on (2,0) and so on basically 0 show increment by 1 and 1 shows decrements by 1 ... by plotting this type of graph ...it become easy for me to analyse similar pattern of bit strings ...and those bit strings shows similar pattern will be on one cluster..remember X axis is columns and Y axis is rows ..

bitstrings = [0 0 1 1 0 0 0;
              0 1 0 1 0 0 1;
              1 0 1 1 1 0 0;
              0 1 0 1 0 0 0;] %for example

You need to transform your [0 1] in offsets [+1 -1], which is simply achieve by 1-2*bitstrings. cumsum that and you've got your y coordinates. simply plot that matrix and matlab will use 1:... for x exactly as you want. By default plot plots by columns, so transpose the matrix beforehand:

plot(cumsum(1-2*bitstrings'))
