How can i plot (annual plots) data according to the years (which are listed in the first column)?

Hello, I have a table where the first column shows the years. I would like to plot the values for each year. example:

year month value 2007 3 1 2007 4 5 2007 5 3 2008 4 3 2008 5 2

so for the above i would want 2 graphs..one for 2007 and one for 2008. The number of values for each year isn`t constant. What is the fastest why to do this? thanks

Answer 1

[KL]

plot(your_table{your_table.year==2007,{'value'}})

something like that should work, I have't tested it. Let me know if it worked.

Thanks. It`s similar to what you wrote, only maybe i need to loop it so it automatically plots all the years. I still haven`t found the solution.

[KL]

years = [2007, 2008];  %and so on
for k = 1:length(years)
   figure(k)
   plot(your_table{your_table.year==years(k),{'value'}});
   %your legend, title, etc
end

For those who would like to know the answer...i did a conditional loop. There was some problems with the last lines for each year which i had to consider. so i did two loops inside the first one also! If someone has an easier or faster way, feel free to share!

thanks

Two loops do sound redundant. If you could share a better dataset, it's easier to give you a better solution.
