Plotting Matrix with Small and Large Values

I am trying to plot the matrix (machines (rows) vs. production times (in sec) (columns)) below.

C1=[0.6018  0.6238  0.6001  0.6716  0.6054  0.6178  0.6978; 
    0.5701  0.5835  0.5734  0.6230  0.5744  0.5661  0.6630;
    0.5702  0.5787  0.5746  0.6397  0.5593  0.5605  0.6867;
    0.5631  0.5788  0.5782  0.6535  0.5777  0.5728  0.7069;
    0.6503  0.6403  0.6607  0.7870  0.6666  0.6313  1.3154;
    1.960   3.020   4.006   5.652   2.614   1.507  22.956; 
    25.935 31.486  46.325  41.668   6.312   8.867 110.668];

I think because of the large values small valued units not showing properly. I tried log scale and yyaxis, yyaxis works but it plots only in two colors. Is there a way to fix the problem? Thanks for the help.

What, specifically, are you trying to plot against what?

Sorry for the late reply. I am using this line.

plot(C1','-s','LineWidth',1);

'Kay; that's what I surmised...on one plot it's probably going to be messy no matter what you do. Two options I can think of

• Use left/right axes to plot differing magnitudes on alternate axes; can adjust one axis limits to minimize overlap:

yyaxis left
hLL=plot(C1(1:3,:).');
ylim([0.45 0.7
yyaxis right
plot(C1(4:5,:).')

• Use subplots instead

As I told yyaxis works and I think it is the best solution, but it plots only in two colors. Thanks for your answer.

I thought you were complaing about yyaxis still overlaying the plots.

You can use whatever color you want--that's a property of the line not the axis. Just assign whatever color you want when you call plot or save the handle and change properties later...
