how to do density scatter plot?

I have a cubic box with the size of, lets say 300 in each direction. I have some data (contains X,Y,Z coordinates) which represent the distribution of nearly 1 million data-points within this box. I want to specify a color to their Number density (its an intensive quantity used to describe the degree of concentration of countable objects in this case data-points). In another word, Using color to illustrate which part is more condensed in terms of data-points rather than the other parts. The index for the color-bar in the final image should represent the percentage of data-points specified with that color.
I have tried to do it by dividing the whole space in cubic box to 1 million smaller cube (each cube has a length of 3 in all direction). By counting the number of particles within those cube, I will know how they distributed in the box and the number of existed data-points within. Then I can specify a color to them which I wasn’t successful in counting and specifying. Any suggestion is appreciated.
%reading the files
[FileName,PathName,FilterIndex] = uigetfile('H:\*.txt','MultiSelect','on');
numfiles = size(FileName,2);
j=1;
X=linspace(0,300,100);
for ii = 1:numfiles
FileName{ii}
entirefile = fullfile(PathName,FileName{ii});
a = importdata(entirefile);
x = a(:,2);
y = a(:,3);
z = a(:,4);
for jj = 2:size(X,2) % loop over all points
if x(:)<X(jj) & y(:)<X(jj) & z(:)<X(jj)
x;
end
end
h=figure(j);
scatter3(x, y, z, 'filled', 'MarkerSize', 20);
cb = colorbar();
cb.Label.String = 'density estimate';
end
I need to get a similar result like the following image. but I need the percentage of data-point specified by each color. Thanks in advance.

C = x*0;
for i = 1:length(x)
v = (abs(x-x(i)) < R) & (abs(y-y(i)) < R) & (abs(z-z(i)) < R); % how many points in cube
% v = (x-x(i)).^2 + (y-y(i)).^2 + (z-z(i)).^2 < R^2; % or sphere
C(i) = sum(v)-1; % number of points except x(i)
end
scatter3(x,y,z,10,C)
You can also visualize your data with contourslice()

DOes this help you? Can you please accept the answer?
Doesn't look like your image :(

@darova Its looklike mine but just from a different angle. I need the percentage of data-point specified by each color. the sum of all the index in the color-bar should represent the total number of our data-points. Do you know how can I do it?
contourslice()
Can you visualize it with this function? In manual of using this function says:
"contourslice(X,Y,Z,V,xslice,yslice,zslice) draws contours in slices for the volumetric data V, where V determines the contour colors. "
how should I define V?
Thanks in advance.
I just picked some points using Data Cursor to create a plane

Created the plane. But it doesn't look good

'I need the percentage of data-point specified by each color'
colorbar?
Yes, the color-bar index, should represent the number of data-points specified in that color.
If a color allocated to a place in the box where data-points are exist, I want to know the number of points or the percentage of those data-points specified in that color.
Vector C has number of neighbour points for specified radius
C(i) = sum(v)-1;
For example: radius = 5

If you want percentage
img0.png
scatter3(x,y,z,5,C/max(C)*100,'fill') % percentage
@darova Thanks for your time and kind consideration.
