is it possible to increment color and markers automatically for a plot in a loop?

I want to use a loop to plot a series of datasets eg

for jj=1:numel(data)
plot(data{jj}(:,1),data{jj}(:,2),[Marker Color])
end

I'd like to know if there is a built-in function that I could use in my plot command so that Color and Marker are automatically incremented and that at the end of the day each dataset has a different marker/color.

I could do this

    markers = {'+','o','*','.','x','s','d','^','v','>','<','p','h'}

and then access it this way:

markers{mod(i,numel(markers))+1}

and something similar for the colors but it's kind of ugly

any comments ?

This is an example for your case 
Input is "Input_Data", two dimension matrix 
Marker_Counter=1;
   figure6=figure;
   Markers = {'+','o','*','x','v','d','^','s','>','<'};
   for i=1:10:size(Input_Data,1)
    TPR=Input_Data(i:i+9,7);
    FPR=Input_Data(i:i+9,8);
plot(FPR,TPR,strcat('-',Markers{Marker_Counter}));
Marker_Counter=Marker_Counter+1;   
hold on
   end
plot([0.5 1],[0.5 1],'--');
legend('Minpts = 100','Minpts = 200','Minpts = 300','Minpts = 400','Minpts = 500','Minpts = 600','Minpts = 700','Minpts = 800','Minpts = 900','Minpts = 1000','','Location','SouthEast');
xlabel('FPR or (1-Specificity)','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold'); ylabel('TPR or Spensitivity)','FontSize',12,'FontWeight','bold');
title('ROC Space');
close(gcf);

Answer 1

In fact I think what really fits my need is

    hold all

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

can you explain how it works?

Answer 2

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

color='rmbc'
markers = '+o*.x'
t=0:0.1:10;y=sin(t);
plot(t,y,[markers(2) color(3)])

You can do this:

set(0,'DefaultAxesLineStyleOrder',{'+','o','*','.','x','s','d','^','v','>','<','p','h'});

Then look:

figure
x = 0:.01:1;
hold all
for ii = 1:10
  plot(x,x.^ii)
end

You should see that the marker changes every time the line color cycles through the colors.

[Kaiqi Fang]

It won't change the marker until the default color pool has been cycled through. From the following post, if you just use one color type,

set(0,'defaultaxescolororder',[0 0 0]);

, then you can let the marker change every time.

Try this function, it worked out for me...
