How to plot with incrementally changing variables

How do you plot something where one of the variables being plotted have dozens of variables as it was found using incrementally changing values. I basically have to do a plot of distance that varies depending on an angle theta (distance = tan theta), where theta was found using two formulae whose values changed with incremental changes in 1 variable in those formulas so I have dozens of values of theta which i want to plot all of as the distance changes depending on the angle.

This question extends from one I have asked previously.(<http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/215098-how-do-i-loop-through-incrementally-changing-values#answer_177846>)

Thanks in advance, I appreciate and am greatful everyones help.

Maybe I didn't get your question correctly, but how does it matter where your variables come from (as long as their size is equal)? Why does a simple

plot(theta,distance)

not work?

Hi Peter,

when you divide by a vector, you need to switch to pointwise arithmetic instead of matrix "division". So it should be

distance = 1000./theta;
