Hi, i have a matrix in the form
colorData=
[x1,y1,r1,g1,b1;
x2,y2,r2,g2,g2;
x3,y3,r3,g3,g3;
.............
xi,yi,ri,gi,gi];
where r,g,b are the colors for each data point.
currently I have been plotting using:
hold on
for a=1:length(colorData(:,1)) %for every row
color = [colorData(a,3),colorData(a,4),colorData(a,5)];
plot(colorData(a,1),colorData(a,2),'o','markerfacecolor',color,'markeredgecolor',color);
end
hold off
which works but takes about 3 seconds to execute for the large matrices im using. I can plot the x,y data in about 100ms so the problem is not really how much data im using.
Surely there must be a quicker, more efficient way to do this?

Try using scatter() instead of that loop. With scatter() you can pass in colorData so that each marker has the color you specify.

How many elements are there? If there are more than a couple hundred, it might look so cluttered that it's just overkill. You may be able to throw up a subsample set of points and it will look substantially the same as if you put up all of them.

Theres quite a lot, ill see if i can reduce how many points there are. I dont want to loose important data though
