XY_DISPLAY
Display 2D Points in the MATLAB Graphics Window


XY_DISPLAY is a MATLAB program which reads a set of 2D points from a file and plots them in the MATLAB graphics window.

The file containing the point coordinates is in the XY format.

The MATLAB command scatter is used to display the points.

Usage:

xy_display ( 'filename.xy' )
where reads the point coordinate data in 'filename.xy' and displays a plot of the points.
