Combine LineStyleOrder and ColorOrder

Hello all,

I have a dataset which I want to plot by looping through a specific set of colours and linestyles at the same time. My problem is that while the colours are looping through, the linestyles do not. Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

y2 = randi([10 50],14,12);

set(gcf,'DefaultAxesColorOrder',[0,0,1; ... 
                                 0,0.7,0.3; ... 
                                 0.5,0,1; ...
                                 0,0,0; ... 
                                 0.6,0.6,0.6; ... 
                                 0,0,0; ... 
                                 0,0.75,0.75; ...
                                 0.9,0.4,0; ... 
                                 0.9,0,0.1; ... 
                                 1,0.6,0; ...
                                 0.3,1,0.3], ...
        'DefaultAxesLineStyleOrder',{'-o','-','-.','-x','-+','--+','--','-.','-+','-o','-o'});
ax = gca;
for i = 1:size(y2,2)
    plot(x,y2(:,2:end));
    ax.LineStyleOrderIndex = ax.ColorOrderIndex;
end

If that didn't work then perhaps try it like this instead.

y2 = randi([10 50],11,11);
x = 1 : length(y2);
myColors = [0,0,1; ...
    0,0.7,0.3; ...
    0.5,0,1; ...
    0,0,0; ...
    0.6,0.6,0.6; ...
    0,0,0; ...
    0,0.75,0.75; ...
    0.9,0.4,0; ...
    0.9,0,0.1; ...
    1,0.6,0; ...
    0.3,1,0.3];
lineStyles = {'-','-','-','-','-','--','--','-','-','-','-'};
markerStyles = {'o','x','.','x','+','+','.','.','+','o','o'};
ax = gca;
for k = 1:size(y2,2)
    thisColor = myColors(k, :)
    thisLineStyle = lineStyles{k};
    thisMarkerStyle = markerStyles{k};
    plot(x,y2(k, :), 'Color', thisColor, ...
        'LineStyle', thisLineStyle, ...
        'Marker', thisMarkerStyle, ...
        'LineWidth', 3, 'MarkerSize', 18);
    hold on;
end

g = gcf;
g.WindowState = 'maximized'

Starting in MATLAB R2023a you can cycle through LineStyleOrder and ColorOrder together by setting LineStyleCyclingMethod to 'withcolor'.

Demo

styles = {'-','-o', '-^'};
colors = [1 0 0; 0 0 1; 0 1 0];
ax = axes(); 
ax.LineStyleOrder = styles; 
ax.ColorOrder = colors;
ax.LineStyleCyclingMethod = 'withcolor'; 
hold on
plot(0:.1:1, rand(1,11)+(1:6)')
