MATLAB: Is it possible to visualize all data in a multiple scatterplot

MATLABplotscatterplotvisualization

Hi,
I am trying to make a scatterplot with a lots of data via this code:
h1 = scatter(table{:,variable},table{:,'PET'}, '+','MarkerEdgeColor',[102/255, 178/255, 255/255]);
hold on
h2 = scatter(table{:,variable},table{:,'SET_'}, '+','MarkerEdgeColor',[102/255, 255/255, 102/255]);
h3 = scatter(table{:,variable},table{:,'UTCI'}, '+','MarkerEdgeColor',[255/255, 204/255, 153/255]);
h4 = scatter(table{:,variable},table{:,'PT'}, '+','MarkerEdgeColor',[255/255, 102/255, 102/255]);
h5 = scatter(table{:,variable},table{:,'mPET'}, '+','MarkerEdgeColor',[204/255, 153/255, 255/255]);
and the result is this:
It is obvious that the last plotted violet data will be above the others hiding the other colors. Is it possible to visualize all data to the same extend? For example it can be plotted through a rotation of all colours to achieve the desired visibility of all the data.

Maybe use scatter3() and visualize by using a z-offset. Not sure if it helps in your case
h1 = scatter3(table{:,variable},table{:,'PET'}, 0*ones(size(table{:,'PET'})), '+','MarkerEdgeColor',[102/255, 178/255, 255/255]);
hold on
h2 = scatter3(table{:,variable},table{:,'SET_'}, 1*ones(size(table{:,'SET_'})), '+','MarkerEdgeColor',[102/255, 255/255, 102/255]);
h3 = scatter3(table{:,variable},table{:,'UTCI'}, 2*ones(size(table{:,'UTCI'})), '+','MarkerEdgeColor',[255/255, 204/255, 153/255]);
h4 = scatter3(table{:,variable},table{:,'PT'}, 3*ones(size(table{:,'PT'})), '+','MarkerEdgeColor',[255/255, 102/255, 102/255]);
h5 = scatter3(table{:,variable},table{:,'mPET'}, 4*ones(size(table{:,'mPET'})), '+','MarkerEdgeColor',[204/255, 153/255, 255/255]);
