How do I create a scatter plot of every value combination of three vectors?

I have three vectors each corresponding to a position of a seat in a theater. x = [0:60], y = [0:60] and z = [y.*5]. So I have an x vector, a y vector, and a z vector. I need to be able to plot every combination of the vectors because when I use scatter3(x,y,z) it plots x(n), y(n) and z(n), creating a diagonal line of seats. So I also need it to plot x(n), y(n+1), z(n+1).

[X, Y, Z] = ndgrid(x, y, z);
scatter3( X(:), Y(:), Z(:));

[Walter Roberson]

[X, Y, Z] = ndgrid(x, y, z);
X = X(:); Y = Y(:); Z = Z(:);
[~, uaidx] = unique(Z);
scatter3( X(uaidx), Y(uaidx), Z(uaidx));

clear; clc;

x = [0:90];
x = [-7:7];
z = 30*tand(12.5)
M = z.*y
amountToAdd = size(x);
L = repmat(M, amountToAdd(2), 1);
for i = [1:length(x)]
    for j = [1:length(y)]
    d(i,j) = sqrt((x(i)).^2+(y(j)).^2+(z*y(j))^2)
    end
end
dB = 10.*log10(1./d.^2)+100;
surf(y,x,L, dB)

This is my current code. I've attached something similar to what I'm looking for but I have it as a surface and I need it as a scatter plot. I think I'm probably just not being clear with what I'm looking for

Try the below and suggest how you want it changed.

x = 0:90;
y = -7:7;
z = 30*tand(12.5);
M = z.*y;
amountToAdd = size(x);
L = repmat(M, amountToAdd(2), 1);
for i = 1:length(x)
    for j = 1:length(y)
      d(i,j) = sqrt((x(i)).^2+(y(j)).^2+(z*y(j))^2);
    end
end
dB = 10.*log10(1./d.^2)+100;
[X, Y] = ndgrid(x, y);
scatter3(Y(:),X(:),L(:),10,dB(:));

Hey Luke,

Have you considered looping through the values of your matrix and plotting for each of the values?

It would go something like this -

 % x = 0:4;
   y = 0:4;
   z = y*5;
   q = ones(5,1);
   q = q';

   for i = 1:length(z)
      for j = 1:length(y)
        scatter3(x,y(j)*q,z(i)*q)
        hold on
      end
   end
  end

Hope this helps!

That is close to what I'm looking for, but I need the z values to only appear once so instead of a cube, I would want it to be a diagonal plane that increases in z values as the y values increase

thats perfect, thank you
