How do I plot horizontal time intervals and ignore others to produce a non continous dashed line plot?

I have this code that produces this code below

tTime =[0.0547083333333333	0.0553541666666667	0.0587500000000000	0.0599375000000000	0.0632291666666667	0.0646458333333333	0.0680000000000000	0.0696666666666667	0.0729375000000000	0.0746875000000000	0.0780000000000000	0.0798333333333333]

tTime = 1×12

0.0547 0.0554 0.0587 0.0599 0.0632 0.0646 0.0680 0.0697 0.0729 0.0747 0.0780 0.0798

CQ_HC = [0.159793814432991 0.265116279069768 0.296943231441047 0.337552742616036 0.345679012345677 0.363636363636362]

CQ_HC = 1×6

0.1598 0.2651 0.2969 0.3376 0.3457 0.3636

figure;
x = tTime(1:2:end); % every 2 elements of B
y = CQ_HC; % A is y-axis
        
plot(x,y')
xlim([0 max(tTime)])
ylim([0 0.6])

However I dont want a continues line. Every 2 element in tTime corresponds to an element in CQ_HC.

what I want:

every two element in tTime will be a line (so first point the begining of the line and second point the end of the line). and since the x axis is a time axis, between every pair if there is no corresponding value in CQ_HC it

stay blank. in that way the plot will not be a continues line. Any ideas?

"(so first point the begining of the line and second point the end of the line)"

It's not clear what this means.

Do you want to plot lines with x values taken in pair -

1 > consequetively like x(1)-x(2), x(3)-x(4), x(5)-x(6) ...

2 > or from both ends like x(1)-x(12), x(2)-x(11), x(3)-x(10) ...

If not any of 1 or 2, then mention specifically.

Try this —

tTime =[0.0547083333333333	0.0553541666666667	0.0587500000000000	0.0599375000000000	0.0632291666666667	0.0646458333333333	0.0680000000000000	0.0696666666666667	0.0729375000000000	0.0746875000000000	0.0780000000000000	0.0798333333333333];
CQ_HC = [0.159793814432991 0.265116279069768 0.296943231441047 0.337552742616036 0.345679012345677 0.363636363636362];

x = reshape(tTime,2,[]);                                    % Reshape To (2x6) Matrix
y = [1;1]*CQ_HC;                                            % Create As (2x6) Matrix

figure;
plot(x, y, 'LineWidth',2)
xlim([0 max(tTime)])
ylim([0 0.6])

To plot them all ion the same color, specify the color. I used 'LineWidth',2 so the lines would be visible. Change that as necessary.

Thank you. worked perfectly

As always, my pleasure!

You need to make each 'line' its own series. Do this by reshaping your data so each time interval is in its own column.

tTime =[0.0547083333333333	0.0553541666666667	0.0587500000000000	0.0599375000000000	0.0632291666666667	0.0646458333333333	0.0680000000000000	0.0696666666666667	0.0729375000000000	0.0746875000000000	0.0780000000000000	0.0798333333333333]

tTime = 1×12

0.0547 0.0554 0.0587 0.0599 0.0632 0.0646 0.0680 0.0697 0.0729 0.0747 0.0780 0.0798

CQ_HC = 1×6

0.1598 0.2651 0.2969 0.3376 0.3457 0.3636

x = reshape(tTime,2,[])

x = 2×6

0.0547 0.0587 0.0632 0.0680 0.0729 0.0780 0.0554 0.0599 0.0646 0.0697 0.0747 0.0798

y = [CQ_HC;CQ_HC]

y = 2×6

0.1598 0.2651 0.2969 0.3376 0.3457 0.3636 0.1598 0.2651 0.2969 0.3376 0.3457 0.3636
