Index exceeds matrix dimensions when using scatterplot

Hi everyone,

I am trying to do some data exploration and keep getting an "Index exceeds matrix dimensions." error when trying to do a scatterplot.

My problem has a vector with 100000 columns but I tried with this simple example and get the same error.

x = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
y = rand(1,9)
scatter(x,y)

Apologies in advance for the likely very simple thing that I am missing but can't think of what could be the issue when looking at the scatter() documentation.

You have accidentally defined a variable named scatter

or you have a third-party version of scatter() and the error is occuring inside that. What shows up for

which -all scatter

I installed the latest version of matlab and it seems to be working fine, but i assume this was the issue. Thank you!
