how to change colors of lines in a plot to exist on a scale

Does anyone know how to change the colours of lines in a plot so that they exist on a scale?

My current code:

plot(powerpc,abs(depth70mms_02),powerpc,abs(depth70mms_03),powerpc,abs(depth70mms_04),powerpc,abs(depth70mms_05),powerpc,abs(depth70mms_06),powerpc,abs(depth70mms_07),powerpc,abs(depth70mms_08),powerpc,abs(depth70mms_09))

ylabel('Track Depth of 0.9 D.R. laser');

xlabel('Laser Power/mW');

Thank you!

What exactly do you mean by "on a scale"?

If what you're looking for is a means to have the line colors share a continuous colormap, then you can do that by setting the 'colororder' property of the parent axes.

N = 14; % number of lines in plot

% test data
x = linspace(0,1,100);
g = [1:N/2 1./(1:N/2)].';
y = x.^g;

% plot it
plot(x,y,'linewidth',2);

% pick some colormap and apply it to the colororder property
mycolortable = parula(N);
set(gca,'colororder',mycolortable)
