Plotting from function per for-loop iteration

I need to produce calculations and plots for a series of parameters. I have read that producing a new plot per for-loop iteration is not advised, but that is what I need. For example, I have the following function and code:

Function:

function test_function(input_test)
x = input_test.x;
y = input_test.y;

x+y

figure(1)
scatter(x,y)

figure(2)
scatter(x+y,y)
end

Code:

a = [1,2,3];
b = [1,2,4];

for i=1:3
    for j = 1:3
        input_test.x=a(i)
        input_test.y=b(j)
        test_function(input_test)
    end
end

I want to call the function and output the calculation and plots for each iteration of the for-loop (ie: 9 calculations of x+y & 18 different plots). Right now this code can produce the 9 calculations of x+y but I am only getting the 2 plots of the last iteration at the bottom of the output window.

Any suggestions or other methods on how to produce a series of individual calculations and plots?

If you want new figure windows for each plot, don't specify a number for them:

figure
scatter(x,y)

figure
scatter(x+y,y)

Thank you! This works for the example code I posted here. My main code is still running but hopefully it works too.

You're welcome. If it does work though, please click Accept.
