Your question is not clear. When, in Command Windows you type
whos your_variable
What did you get?

Struct arrays can hold any type of data in their fields. So you're going to need to clarify what you mean by plotting a struct. Suppose you had this struct array:
S = struct('x', 1, 'y', 'Steve', 'z', single(magic(5)), 'q', plot(1:10))
What exactly would you want plot(S) to do?
- Plot the scalar double from field x
- Create a text object displaying the word 'Steve' from field y
- Create a surface plot from the single precision array in field z
- Copy the line whose handle is stored in field q to a new axes
- Multiple or all of the above options 1-4
- Something completely different than options 1-5
Now extracting the data from one of the fields and plotting the extracted data works fine.

But you need to specifically tell MATLAB that's what you want to do.
