S can be a vector thesame length as X, Y, and Z or a scalar. If S is a scalar, MATLAB draws all themarkers the same size.C determines the colors of each marker. When C is a vector the same length asX, Y, and Z, the values in C are linearly mapped to the colors in the currentcolormap. When C is a length(X)-by-3 matrix, it specifies the colors of themarkers as RGB values. C can also be a color string (see ColorSpec for a list ofcolor string specifiers)scatter3(X,Y,Z) draws the markers in the default size and color.scatter3(X,Y,Z,S) draws the markers at the specified sizes (S) with a singlecolor.scatter3(...,markertype) uses the marker type specified instead of 'o' (seeLineSpec for a list of marker specifiers).scatter3(...,'filled') fills the markers.h = scatter3(...) returns the handles to the line objects created by scatter3(see line for a list of properties you can specify using the object handles andset).Use plot3 for single color, single marker size 3-D scatter plots.2-430
