how to creat combined Area -scatter chart

 Hi,
i want to create plot like the picture by matlab , can any one help me ?
the area in the graph have two bound, lower bound and upper bound . for each of bound i have some data. 
for example my upper bound data are : (15 15 16 16 16 16 17 17 17 17 18 19)
and 
my lower bound data are : (2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 6 6)
between this two bound i want to be significant by color. 
and my scatter chart data are : (10 10 12 13 13 13 14 14 14 15 15 15)
X  lower bound  upper bound  data
1  2             15           10
2  2             15           10
3  3             16           12
4  3             16           13
5  3             16           13
6  4             16           13
7  4             17           14
8  4             17           14
9  5             17           14
10  5             17           15
11  6             18           15
12  6             19           15

as shown in picture . how can make this plot in matlab , is it possible at all? thank so much

This seems to approximate the figure in your Question:

D = [1  2             15           10
2  2             15           10
3  3             16           12
4  3             16           13
5  3             16           13
6  4             16           13
7  4             17           14
8  4             17           14
9  5             17           14
10  5             17           15
11  6             18           15
12  6             19           15];

figure(1)
h1 = area(D(:,1), D(:,[2 3]), 0.25)
set(h1(1), 'FaceColor', [1.0 1.0 1.0], 'EdgeColor', 'w')
set(h1(2), 'FaceColor', [0.9 0.9 0.9], 'EdgeColor', 'w')
hold on
plot(D(:,1), D(:,4), '^k', 'MarkerFaceColor','k')
hold off
axis([0  14    0  30])
set(gca, 'FontSize', 7)

producing:

excuse me , but i change my data but it does not work properly that i want ? my data:

    % 
  1  1290.752253  1293.39578  1290.15
2  1290.495786  1293.34567  1290.01
3  1290.539917  1293.381226  1290.08
4  1290.479736  1293.325439  1290.12
5  1290.434204  1293.281494  1291.32

7  1290.332153  1293.206055  1291.54
8  1290.28064  1293.165894  1291.63
9  1290.22937  1293.117432  1291.59
10  1290.171021  1293.064331  1291.6
11  1290.108398  1293.006592  1291.36
12  1290.042603  1292.946289  1291.09

    %clear
clc
D=xlsread('a.xlsx');

figure(1) h1 = area(D(:,1), D(:,[2 3]), 0.25) set(h1(1), 'FaceColor', [1.0 1.0 1.0], 'EdgeColor', 'w') set(h1(2), 'FaceColor', [0.9 0.9 0.9], 'EdgeColor', 'w') hold on plot(D(:,1), D(:,4), '^k', 'MarkerFaceColor','k') hold off axis([0 12 1288 1294]) set(gca, 'FontSize', 14)

it does not show the proper bound ,i mean it does not show the upper bound. my result is :

It was doing exactly what you wanted in your first plot. The nature of the data seem to have changed as well.

This should work with your changed data:

D(:,3) = D(:,3)-D(:,2);

figure(1)
h1 = area(D(:,1), D(:,[2 3]), 1288.5)
set(h1(1), 'FaceColor', [1.0 1.0 1.0], 'EdgeColor', 'w')
set(h1(2), 'FaceColor', [0.9 0.9 0.9], 'EdgeColor', 'w')
hold on
plot(D(:,1), D(:,4), '^k', 'MarkerFaceColor','k')
hold off
axis([0  14    1288  1294])
set(gca, 'FontSize', 7)

Note that ‘D(:,3)’ is now the difference between ‘D(:,2)’ and ‘D(:,3)’ in your new data. I assume that calculation had already been made in your original data.

thanks so much.

My pleasure!

I haven’t worked with area plots in a while, so yours was a fun problem to solve.
