Defining sub-groups in gscatter

Hello everybody,

I'm having troubles in correctly using the "gscatter" function; I have three variables 'temp' (a temperature), 'en' (energy) and 'hour' (the hour of the day at which the energy was consumed, given for many different days).

I am able now to use gscatter to plot 'temp' vs. 'en' and visualize the different hours as different colors by simply using

gscatter(temp_h,en,hour);

Since there are 24 hours in a day, the visualization is not optimal. What I now would like to do is to create sub-groups of hours that could be plotted in a single color, e.g. '0 am to 4 am', '5 am to 9 am' and so on...

How could I define such subgroups and have them correctly read by 'gscatter' function? I really can't do this also considering that the third variable of gscatter should have the same length of the two other variables.

Thanks a lot in advance.

All the best.

Matteo

I do have same question. How can I add a colorbar that range, for example, from 0 to 24 hours, in case on the example above. I would appreciate help soon :)

Attach a small sample of your data. Failing to do that, or at least posting a screenshot, may be why no one answered the original question.
