How to multiply a variable for matrix?

Hello I'm trying to do this kind of operation:
A = 20:100:20000
B = [2 3 0 0 0 0; 3 4 -5 0 0 0; 0 7 8 -3 0 0; 0 0 3 2 -3 0; 0 0 0 2 1 1; 0 0 0 0 6 4]
C = A.*B
and it gives me the following error:
??? Error using ==> times Matrix dimensions must agree.
How can I fix it?

Hi Gabriel,
The issue here (as the returned error is indicating) is that the matrices you are trying to multiply are not the same size.
Matrix A is 1 by 200 and Matrix B is 6 by 6.
Are these the matrices you want to multiply, or should they be structured differently?
If you want to do an element-wise multiplication (i.e. C = A.*B) then A and B both need to be 1 by 200 matrices (or both 6 by 6), so that the request can be evaluated as a multiplication of each of the locations in the respective matrices.
For example:
A = [2 3 4 5 6 7];
B = [3 5 6 7 8 9];
C = A.*B;
Result is:
C = [6 15 24 35 48 63]

Actually what I'm trying to do is exactly multiply each element of A by the 6x6 matrix in order to plot a AxB graph.
What size do you expect the output to be, when you multiply a 1x200 matrix with a 6x6 matrix? Which of these do you want?:

If you want the entire matrix B to be multiplied by each element of A in turn, then
C = bsxfun(@times, reshape(A,1,1,[]), B);
This would produce a 6 x 6 x 200 array

What are you hoping your output graph would look like?
C = permute( bsxfun(@times, reshape(A,1,1,[]), B), [3 1 2]);
The result of that would be 200 x 6 x 6
For any given value of A, how many output lines do you want, and do you want them across the rows of the 6 x 6 or do you want them down the columns of the 6 x 6?
My graph is the variation of frequencies (represented by A) versus the result of operations with 6x6 matrix from mass spring damper system. I want to relate the displacement of that system with the variation of frequencies.
That does not tell me anything about what you want the graph to look like. Are you graphing surfaces? 3D lines? 36 2D lines across the width? 6 2D lines for each A value? 6 3D lines for each A value? A 6 x 6 contour plot for each A value?
