Draw a discontinuous line

Hi, I want to draw a discontinuous line that will later be used in a another plot. For my example I have written following lines

y1 = [0.6 0.6];
y2=[0.3 0.3];
x1 = [0.7 1.3];
x2=[1.8 2.2];
line(x1,y1); hold on
line(x2,y2); hold off

This is fine for 2 lines but I have more. Can this be written differently? Say for example for 10 discontinuous lines?

You can put your x1, x2,... and y1, y2,... into matrices and loop around the relevant dimension, plotting each piecewise.

Do not use indexed variable names. Build a 2xn matrix instead.

x =

    0.7000    1.8000
    1.3000    2.2000

y =

    0.6000    0.3000
    0.6000    0.3000

Build a matrix instead

plot(x,y);

Thanks exactly what I was looking for!
