MATLAB: Draw a discontinuous line

lineplot

Hi, I want to draw a discontinuous line that will later be used in a another plot. For my example I have written following lines

y1 = [0.6 0.6];
y2=[0.3 0.3];
x1 = [0.7 1.3];
x2=[1.8 2.2];
line(x1,y1); hold on
line(x2,y2); hold off

This is fine for 2 lines but I have more. Can this be written differently? Say for example for 10 discontinuous lines?

Do not use indexed variable names. Build a 2xn matrix instead.

x =

    0.7000    1.8000
    1.3000    2.2000

y =

    0.6000    0.3000
    0.6000    0.3000

Build a matrix instead

plot(x,y);

MATLAB: Place array in a matrix

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding but if

 x = [1.0000         0
      0.5000    1.0000
      0.5000    1.5000
           0   -1.0000
     -1.0000    1.0000
      0.5000   -1.0000];

which is a 6x2 array, then wouldn't

 x*x'

be the desired 6x6 array?

Since your t matrix is full of 0 and 1 you can take advantage of that and just do this

a = [0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5];
b = [0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5];
t = ff2n(n);
t1 = t.*a
t1 =
         0         0         0         0         0
         0         0         0         0    0.5000
