how to find distance between two points?

Hai,
I need to find the distance between two points in the figure, which I have plotted. Is there any function in matlab that could find the distance between two points. Looking for your reply.

You can use the pdist function in the Statistics Toolbox:
e.g: distance between points (0,0) and (2,1)
>> X = [0,0;2,1];
>> d = pdist(X,'euclidean')
d =
2.2361

I want to measure distance between one point to other more than ten points, what i mean is like i have ten markers on one line and i want to compute distance from the ist marker with other 9 markers. How can I do it in MATLAB. Please answer.

in this case you have to have a nested loop so you gaurantee to reach each point int the list

The distance between two points x and y is the same as the magnitude of the vector that points from one point to the other:
>> x = [0 0];
>> y = [2 1];
>> norm(x-y)
ans =
2.2361

Will i get a column vector of distances if I try norm(x-y), where x and y are two 3 x 2 vectors?

No. You will have to code it yourself.
There are many different possible meanings for "distance". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_%28mathematics%29#Examples

Pos=[x1 x2;y1 y2]
D=dist(Pos);

Sorry, Walter. You are right, the dist() function is from the Neural Network Toolbox.

I am using my new MATLAB version today. It has a bunch of toolbox. Nice!

X = [0,0;2,1];

if i was to compare one point of a 1d graph and to compare the distances between that point(the reference point) to others on the graph. how can i do that?

I understand you're experiencing doubts over calculating distance between 2 points in the figure for which you have variable values saved in workspace. You can use one of the following methods for your utility:
  1. norm(): distance between two points as the norm of the difference between the vector elements
  2. pdist(X): Euclidean distance between pairs of observations in X
  3. pdist2(X,Y,Distance): distance between each pair of observations in X and Y using the metric specified by Distance.
  4. distance(): distance between two points in Geographic space
Hope this helps!
