How to plote Data with Jump condition?

Hi,

I am trying to plot data. The problem I have jump condition in that data. I searched to find any way to do that but I can not find anything.

 x         y     Jump(y)

 0.783   0.56  
  1.02    0.8 
  1.5    1.34    2.89
  2      3.8 
 2.16    3.91    
  3      4.7     6.3

I have Jump in that data in two place at x=1.5 and x=3.

Can MatLab plot data that has jump condition. it is like step function which at same x- coordinate will have two value for y- corrdeinate. Or like shock wave which at the shock the properties change suddenly.

Thanks

Start constructing a list of x and y coordinates. When you get to the line with the jump, add the x with the first y, and also add the x with the jump value. Then keep going in the list. Now plot(x,y)

Hi, Thank you for your reply. This means if let says y=20 between x=1:40 then y=30 between x=40:80 this mean I will have 81 points for x (and if I have loop to save the values in matrix I will need 2*81) instead of (2*80)

Thanks

Yes.
