error message - plot function

This message arrives when I open Matlab : ' Warning: Function plot has the same name as a MATLAB builtin. We suggest you rename the function to avoid a potential name conflict.'

Indeed, my plot function is not working anymore. What can I do ?

plot is a built-in MATLAB function. You should be having another function in your workspace with the same name, which is shadowing the built-in plot function.

Execute the following command in MATLAB command window

 which -all plot

If you see the last line similar to the one shown below, then your built-in plot function is shadowed

built-in (C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017b\toolbox\matlab\graph2d\plot)           % Shadowed

Go to the first line of the output, it shows the local function or variable named as 'plot' which is shadowing the built-in.

Clear the variable or delete the shadowing file and this should resolve the issue
