Looking at the comments, it will be easier to stack these vectors into a 2D matrix. You have 11 individually named vectors. Assuming that your vectors are named vec1, vec2, vec3, etc., create a 2D matrix A that stacks these vectors on top of each other. Also, you'll need to include an extra row and column at the end of this matrix that contains the minimum over all of your vectors. The reason why this is will be apparent later, but for now take my word for it as this is what you need.
In other words:
A = [vec1; vec2; vec3; vec4; vec5; vec6; vec7; vec8; ...
vec9; vec10; vec11];
minA = min(A(:));
A = [A minA*ones(11,1); minA*ones(1,51)];
As such, the first row contains the information at time 0, the next row contains information at time 100, etc. up to time 1000.
Now that we have that finished, we can use the pcolor function to plot this data for you. pcolor stands for pseudo-coloured checkerboard plot. You call this by doing:
pcolor(A);
This will take a matrix stored in A and produce a checkerboard plot of your data. Each point in your matrix gets assigned a colour. The colours get automatically mapped so that the least value gets mapped to the lowest colour while the highest value gets mapped to the highest colour. pcolor does not plot the last row and last column of the matrix, but pcolor does use all of the data in the matrix. In order to ensure that the colours get properly mapped, we need to pad your matrix so that the last row and last column get assigned to the smallest value over all of your vectors. As you want to plot all values in the matrix, that's why we did what we did above.
Once we do this, we'll need to modify the X and Y ticks so that it conforms to your data. As such:
pcolor(A);
set(gca, 'XTick', 0.5:5:51.5);
set(gca, 'XTickLabel', 0:5:50);
set(gca, 'YTick', 1.5:11.5);
set(gca, 'YTickLabel', 0:100:1000);
xlabel('Sample Number');
ylabel('Time');
colorbar;
What the code does above is that it generates a checkerboard pattern like what we talked about. This labels the Sample Number on the x axis while time is on the y axis. You'll see with the two set commands that I did, this is a bit of a hack. The y axis by default labeled the ticks going from 1 - 12. What I did was that I changed these labels so that they go from 0 to 1000 in steps of 100 instead and I also removed the tick of 12. In addition, I have made sure that these labels go in the middle of each row. I do this by setting the YTick property so that I add 0.5 to each value going from 1 - 11. Once I do this, I then change the labels so that they go from 0 - 1000 in steps of 100. I also do the same for the x axis in a similar fashion to the y axis. I then add a colorbar to the side as per your request.
Following the above code, and generating random integer data that is between 13 and 27 as per your comments:
A = randi([13,27], 11, 50);
minA = min(A(:));
A = [A minA*ones(11,1); minA*ones(1,51)];
We get:
Obviously, the limits of the colour bar will change depending on the dynamic range of your data. I used randi and generated random integers within the range of 13 to 27. When you use this code for your purposes, the range of the colour bar will change depending on the dynamic range of your data, but the colours will be adjusted accordingly.
Good luck!
