I don't think you can make that graph with _matplot. Instead you
should turn your matrix into a dataset and graph the dataset:

*--------- begin example ----------
clear

matrix foo = 1, 2, 3 \ ///
             2, 2, 2 \ ///
             3, 3, 3 \ ///
             4, 3, 2
			
svmat foo

scatter foo2 foo3 foo1
*--------- end example -----------
(For more on examples I sent to the Statalist see:

Hope this helps,
Maarten
