Visualization Technique

Is there an example out there that uses square coordinates to draw a square and color it?

See the following link with a spherical example (the example is near the bottom of the page):

fill3([50 50 50 50],[0 100 100 0],[0 0 100 100],'b')

?

Thank you Sean de! That did the trick..:-) Do you think I could do a 3-D sqaure visualization??

like a cube?

Sure, use a few different fill3s along different planes. Or even easier use patches

Yes, like a cube. We are using the square as a visualization for a survey. Essentially, the larger the square the better the score and vise verse. The survey data will be imported into Matlab from spss.

[Sean de Wolski]

I would just use 6 fill3's then corresponding to the 6 faces of the cubes. Have their corner coordinates (and perhaps color too!) be dependent on a scale factor that expands/contracts the cube.

[Christopher]

Thank you again. Now that I think about it, I will stick with the first option. I think we can better interpret a square versus a cube (the larger the square the better the score). When you use [50,50,50,50] does this represent the 4-scores along the scale?

scatter3() with a pointsize vector that is proportional to the score, and with Marker set to 's' to get squares.
