Undefined unary operator '-' for input arguments of type 'string error

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
I am going to show x axis in scatter plot by text label like below with positive and negative signs however I get this error
"Undefined unary operator '-' for input arguments of type 'string' "
Can someone please assist in rectifying?
n= ["-240-260";"-220-240";"-200-220";"-180-200";"-160-180";"-140-160";"-120-140";"-100-120";"-80-100";"-60-80";"-40-60";"-20- 40";"0-20";"0+20";"+20+40";"+40+60";"+60+80";"+80+100";"+100+120";"+120+140";"+140+160";"+160+180";"+180+200";"+200+220";"+220+240"];
y1 = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0.04,0.32,0.56,0.08,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0];
y2 = [0,0.05,0.05,0.05,0,0.1,0,0,0.2,0.3,0.1,0.1,0.05,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0];
x=categorical(n);
plot(x,y1,'r--o', x,y2,'k--o');

You have told Matlab those strings are categories, so Matlab treated them as categories. Do you want to treat them as bins of a histogram instead?

Yes it is histogram. I am going to sort x axis from "-260-240" to "+220+240". I did x=sort (categorical(n)); but doesn't work. Please see attached photo.

When you call categorical with one input, the list of categories in that categorical is the sorted unique values in the input. From the documentation page:
"B = categorical(A) creates a categorical array from the array A. The categories of B are the sorted unique values from A."
Call categorical with two inputs to keep the categories in your desired order.
"B = categorical(A,valueset) creates one category for each value in valueset. The categories of B are in the same order as the values of valueset"
x = categorical(n, n);
plot(x,y1,'r--o', x,y2,'k--o');

Hi,
Could I ask another question about change origin point of y axis to (0-20)? I gonna shift Y axis to point (0-20) but I don't have any idea.
ax.XAxisLocation = 'origin';
ax.YAxisLocation = 'origin';
origin = (0-20);

Why not just:
y1 = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0.04,0.32,0.56,0.08,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0];
y2 = [0,0.05,0.05,0.05,0,0.1,0,0,0.2,0.3,0.1,0.1,0.05,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0];
x=-250:20:230;
plot(x,y1,'r--o', x,y2,'k--o');
This plots the "y" points in the middle of your "x" bands.

Thanks for your help,
but please consider I have
x= ["-240-260";"-220-240";"-200-220";"-180-200";"-160-180";"-140-160";"-120-140";"-100-120";"-80-100";"-60-80";"-40-60";"-20- 40";"0-20";"0+20";"+20+40";"+40+60";"+60+80";"+80+100";"+100+120";"+120+140";"+140+160";"+160+180";"+180+200";"+200+220";"+220+240"];
not exactly x=-250:20:230;
