Discontinuous scatter plot -- when data is not discontinuous

I have been plotting very simple variables with matlab and so far two of my graphs have been discontinuous. I am not sure why as I get no error. When i graph the same set of data on excel- the graphs look fine, but on mathlab there is a very large gap.

i am not sure what I am doing wrong as I have several scatter plots that turned out just fine.

matlab noob.

>> scatter(B8V1N,b8V1R,'DisplayName','b8V1R vs B8V1N','XDataSource','B8V1N','YDataSource','b8V1R');figure(gcf)

>> scatter(B8V1N,b8V1R,'DisplayName','b8V1R vs B8V1N','XDataSource','B8V1N',

If you just want a simple scatter plot, try:

plot(B8V1N,b8V1R,'+')

assuming these are your two sets of coordinates.

eg.

plot([1 2 3],[2 4 6],'+')

[Brishna]

still discontinuous. I thought it might be my data, but i just did a quick scatter plot on excel and it looks fine.

what exactly do you mean by discontinuous?

Are some data points missing?
