Plotting a 3D matrix over time

I am calculating 3x3 matrices over time. For every new t, there is a new matrix. I then calculate the euclidean distance between the new matrix and the original matrix each time. I want to represent the distance between the matrices over time, but I can't figure out how to graph a 3x3 matrix over time since that would be 4 dimensions. I want to find a way to just make this a 2d graph, distance vs time, but the distance is obviously a 3x3 value. Any ideas for how I can represent this data on a graph?

could you please share the code

If your final data set is a 3x3xN array, D, you can reshape and plot it as follows

plot( reshape(D,9,N).' )

This will display each time path D(i,j,:), i=1,2,3, j=1,2,3 as its own curve.
