load fort.11 % the content is saved in a matrix called fort, see help load x=fort; load fort.12 % this overwrites fort, so you must save it as x in previous step y=fort; figure(12) % this will pop up another window called figure 12 plot(x,y,'x') load fort.13 x1=fort(:,1); % x1 will then be the first column of fort x2=fort(:,2); % x2 will then be the second column of fort figure(11) % this will pop up another window called figure 11 plot(x1,x2) % alternatively, you can do %% plot(fort(:,1),fort(:,2))
