Make a scatter plot bigger and ad legend, axis

I have the following scatter plot, created from for loops. I want to make every staple as thick as possible, like so staple 1 and 2 are in contact with a contour seperating them. I also want a legend telling what the colors represent.. But I do not know how to make one

hold on

for y=1:2
xx=cell(length(AAG{y}),1);
I=cell(length(AAG{y}),1);
for o=1:length(AAG{y})
xx{o} =AAG{y}{o};
I{o}=AAI{y}(o);
end


for k1 = 1:length(AAG{y})
    scatter(ones(1,numel(xx{k1}))*y, xx{k1},ones(1,numel(xx{k1}))*I{k1})

end

end
xlim([0 3])

hold off

Hi Joel Schelander,

It is my understanding that you want to make the scatter plot bigger and add legend to it. To achieve this, you can resize the “figure” to have the desired height and width using “Position” parameter. For adding the legends, you can use “legend” function. Here is a sample code for the same:

% Generate random data
x1 = rand(1, 100);
y1 = rand(1, 100);
x2 = rand(1, 100);
y2 = rand(1, 100);
x3 = rand(1, 100);
y3 = rand (1, 100);

figure ('Position', [100, 100, 800, 600]); 
% Adjust the width and height as needed
% 3rd parameter is the width of the figure
% 4th parameter is the height of the figure

hold on;
scatter(x1, y1, 50, 'red', 'filled');
scatter(x2, y2, 50, 'green', 'filled');
scatter(x3, y3, 50, 'blue', 'filled');
hold off;

xlabel('X');
ylabel('Y');
title('Scatter Plot with Different Colors');

% Add legend
legend('Array 1', 'Array 2', 'Array 3');

You can refer to the following documentation to know more about the functions used:
