I have a scatterplot of continous x-y data values, where the x data is time
and the y data are measured data values at each time point. For example Y data, lets use 100 random values between 150 and 200:
y = (200-150).*rand(100,1) + 150)
Separately, I've also split the y-value data into 3 groups based on which segment of time they were meausured (group1: x-values from 0-33, group2: x-values from 33-66, etc), and calculated summary statistics of the corresponding y-data for each group. I would like to overlay a boxplot of the summary statistics for each group onto the scatterplot of the continuous data.
figure; ax1=scatter(x, y, [ ], [0.5 0.5 0.5], 'filled', 'MarkerFaceAlpha', .05, 'MarkerFaceColor',[0.5 0.5 0.5] );
This scatterplot has xticks and xticklabels from [0:20:100].
I then use "hold on" to create a boxplot over the scatterplot, where I specify the placement of the boxes along the x-axis of the scatterplot to correspond to the center x-value of each group.
x_group_labels=vertcat(ones(1,33)',ones(1,33)'*2,ones(1,34)'*3);
hold on; boxA=boxplot(y, x_group_labels, 'symbol', '','Positions', [17,49.5,83]);
However, while the boxplots are properly placed over the scatterplot data in the correct figure location (x=[17,49.5,83] of the scatterplot), the xticks and xlabels have changed so that only the boxplot group number (e.g. "1", "2" ,"3") is visible under each boxplot.
I would like to keep the original x-axis display of the scatterplot and not the boxplot but try as I might, I'm not able to figure out how to accomplish this. Any assistance or tricks would be immensely appreciated.
