Hello,
i have two sets of points (x,y) and i want to plot the line that joins them. But i want it to stop at a specific point and start from the next one..(my datasets form quite big and i will need to break them in multiple points)

just for example:
a=[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10];  b=[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10];

plot(a,b)
gives me the continuous line

let say i want to stop to (5,5) and begin again from (6,6)

Thanks in advance

Thank you all..

my dataset were the coordinates of circles and when i plotted them, the last point of each circle was connected to the first of the next one.
Finally i used NaN in the last row as you suggested.

ang = linspace(0,2*pi,50); %50 point from 0:2pi
xp = r_sensor*cos(ang);        %creates circle
yp = r_sensor*sin(ang);

temp_xp=[xp,NaN]; 
temp_yp=[yp,NaN];

for i=1:n_sensor
    for j=1:51 %%%SOS   50 + 1 for the NaN element
        x_kiklon(j,i)=x_average(i)+temp_xp(j);
        y_kiklon(j,i)=y_average(i)+temp_yp(j);
    end
end
x_kiklon=x_kiklon(:);
y_kiklon=y_kiklon(:);

plot_circle = plot(x_kiklon,y_kiklon,'r');


Thanks again!!

Or introduce NaN into the a and b vectors where you want the breaks to 
appear. See the first Tip in the More About section of the documentation 
page for PLOT for a small example.

humm... is this a trick question? ;)

plot(a(1:5),b(1:5),a(6:end),b(6:end));
