Hi, there is a false data point at [500,0] that I want to remove
I thought of using
([500,0],:)=[]
but not quite sure how to get it working or if a different method is better.
%current plot
pline=plot([Trend]+231,[Trend.count]-Trend.mean, '-s')

I would perfer to remove it from the data, then plot.
But if that's not possible, am ok with just not seeing it on the plot.

To delete an element from an array use [ ].
A = [100 1 2 3 5 3 6 6] ;
plot(1:length(A), A, 'r')
A(1) = []
A = 1×7
1 2 3 5 3 6 6
plot(1:length(A), A)

There are several ways to do this, the most obvious being —
x = 0 : 100: 1000; % Create Data — 'x' Is Actually 'Trend+231'
y = randn(size(x)); % Create Data — 'y' Is Actually 'Trend.count-Trend.mean'
y(6) = 0; % Create Data — Define Point
figure
plot(x, y, '.-')
idx = find((x == 500) & (y == 0));
x(idx) = [];
y(idx) = [];
figure
plot(x, y, '.-')
This assumes there could be several values at ‘x=500’ so it eliminates only the 0 value. If there is only one value at that point, it would only be necessary to test for ‘x==500’.
