How to make a P color plot with two variables

2 views (last 30 days)
Hi I wish to make a P colour plot with the following data (see attached csv). However, I only have 2 variables (Elv and KE) and I want to add a 3rd variable (Count rate) as from the data we notice various instances of the same values occurring more than once. Any help would be much appreciated. The sample data looks like this:
Elv KE
88 8600
88 8600
88 8600
88 8600
88 8600
88 8600
88 8600
88 8600
88 8600
88 8600

You could use unique to get each unique combination of your row data, and then iteratively count the number of occurrences.
data = [[88; 88; 88; 23; 23], [8600; 8600; 9000; 9000; 9000]];
opts = unique(data, 'rows'); % Unique combinations of columns
nopts = size(opts, 1);
counts = zeros(nopts, 1);
for i=1:nopts % Counts the number of exact matches
counts(i) = nnz(all(data == opts(i,:), 2));
end
dataout = [opts counts];
This takes the example data...
88 8600
88 8600
88 9000
23 9000
23 9000
...and produces this:
23 9000 2
88 8600 2
88 9000 1
which I believe is the information that you're looking for.

Apologies for the late response. First you need to get the subset of data (EG the 'Elv' and 'KE' columns), and then perform the same algorithm as above.
dataSubset = data{:, {'Elv','KE'}};
opts = unique(dataSubset, 'rows');
nopts = size(opts, 1);
counts = zeros(nopts, 1);
for i = 1:nopts
counts(i) = nnz(all(subsetData == opts(i,:), 2));
end
dataout = [opts counts];
Hope this helps.
