Hi Lukas,
In my understanding, you want to plot a scatter plot of the locations of trees from their text data files such that the size of the scattered points varies according to the thickness of the trees.
This can be done using the “scatter” plot function as it can plot points with varying sizes if a third vector of scalar values is provided which has the same number of elements as the vectors being plotted. I have assumed that the location and thickness information of the trees is given in the file “TreeAndSize_data_SiteA.txt”. With this assumption, we can get the required plot as follows:
fil = load('TreeAndSize_data_SiteA.txt');
scatter(fil(:,1),fil(:,2),fil(:,3) * k,'filled');
% Assuming that the first, second and third columns are locations and thickness respectively.
% Vary "k” to get different point scales.
