cloudPlot will help visualize the distribution of a 2-dimensional dataset. It is especially helpful when looking at extremely large datasets where a redular plot(x,y,’.') will just fill the plot with a solid color because the measurement points overlap each other. cloudPlot uses the built-in matlab routines to set the axis limits and grid points appropriate to the data.

Example

Plot a Gaussian scattered distribution of X and Y values within the limits, using the standard plot routine

and the cloudPlot
