Hi,
I am realizing that after 7 lines, Matlab seems to run out of colors for graphs and legends..is that correct? Currently I am plotting the following:
plot(matA);
legend('1.','2.','3.','4.','5.','6.','7.','8.');
xlabel('Timepoints');
ylabel('Sources');
matA is a 200x8 matrix, but after plotting I see that the lines 1 and 8 both have the same colors..what is the easiest way out?
Thanks

Add an else statement. If speed(v) is greater than 0, create a plot of s against lambda using a line width of 3.
After the for loop, enter hold off.

Hi,
one solution is to plot in different lines styles:
hold on;
plot(matA(:,1:7), '-');
plot(matA(:,8:14), '--');
...
In your example
hold on;
plot(matA(:,1:7), '-');
plot(matA(:,8), '--');
or maybe:
hold on;
plot(matA(:,1:4), '-');
plot(matA(:,5:8), '--');

You can set your own colours for lines you plot and you can also specify the colours used on an axes by setting the
ColorOrder
property of an axes. By default this is a 7x3 array. You can extend it or replace it with any number of rows you want so long as it is nx3.
The legend doesn't run out of colours either, it just reflects the colours assigned to the plots so if they repeat then obviously so does it otherwise it would not be reflecting the curves correctly.

I didn't know that, many thanks! Now I almost got it, with including these lines:
newColors = [0 0 1; 0 0.5 0; 1 0 0; 0 0.75 0.75; 0.75 0 0.75; 0.75 0.75 0;
0.25 0.25 0.25; 0.8500 0.3250 0.0980];
co = get(gca,'ColorOrder') % Initial
% Change to new colors.
set(gca, 'ColorOrder', newColors, 'NextPlot', 'replacechildren');
co = get(gca,'ColorOrder') % Verify it changed
However now the new colors are only applied to the following plot (and not the later ones). How can I change it for all? And more importantly, where can I look up for more info on "Colororder"? Help did not give me any results, and the Matlab Colororder page does not seem to contain much information neither..

It looks as though the plot function over-rides these so you have to set the default axes color order before plotting instead - e.g.
set(groot,'defaultAxesColorOrder', newColors)
doSomePlotting( )
If you want to return to the defaults after you can type:
set(groot,'defaultAxesColorOrder', 'default' )
