graphing colors

this is the code i have:

plot(all_conflims_mult, 'linestyle', '--', 'color', [0.00 0.00 1.00], 'linewidth', thick)

instead of having 'color', [0.00 0.00 1.00]

i would like to just 'g' or 'r' (For green and red) instead of the 3 numbers, how would i do that? THanks

Answer 1

You can use the few matlab built in colors ('red','green,'blue,'black','white','cyan','magenta','yellow'),

plot(...,'color','green',...)

but you could also just declare a variable that is that vector, i.e.

g = [0 0 1]
plot(...,'color',g,...)

or:

plot(x,y,'g');

and

doc linespec

for a full list of predefined colors.

You need to have the letter for the color in single quotes. Or, you can specify using linespec:

plot(1:10,'--b')

Also note that LineWidth must be a number:

plot(1:10,'LineStyle','--','Color','b','LineWidth',4)
