Why this error?

[Stephen23]

Please show us the output from this command:

which scatter -all

Again, please do what @Stephen23 asked of you

which scatter -all

Put that in the command window and tell us what it says. If it were really urgent, you would have done it.

'scatter-all' not found

Same output as previous

[Image Analyst]

We did not say scatter -all. What happened to the "which" statement? Why did you not type which?

Here, just clip the Copy word in the left side of this shaded section below, and paste it into the command window

which -all scatter

[Sourov]

That shouldn't be.

Restart your matlab session and try

x=[1:5];
y=rand(size(x));
scatter(x,y)

directly from the command line.

If that doesn't work, there's something bad with the installation.

Hi Sourov,

Since you have already verified that you have not accidently overwritten the built-in scatter function using which scatter -all scatter command, you can try out the following two approaches to solve the problem you are facing.

1. Rehashing the toolbox cache

Your MATLAB environment might not be finding the correct built-in scatter function. You can use the following command to rehash the toolbox cache.

rehash toolboxcache

2. If the problem persists, and you have already tried restarting your MATLAB session, as suggested earlier in the comments, there might be something bad with the installation. You can try reinstalling MATLAB.

I hope this helps.
