Reducing script repetitiveness and length

I'm curious as to what methods I could implement to reduce the length of the script, but also the repetitiveness.
% Before any script, clear
clear
clc
% 1.1 - Reading data file
fileID = fopen('VELOCITY.txt','r');
formatSpec = '%f';
V = fscanf(fileID,formatSpec);
% 1.2 - Calculating Acceleration from Velocity
dV = gradient(V);
dt = 0.5;
a = dV./dt;
t=(0:0.5:25.5);
% 1.3 - Plot Velocity and Acceleration
plot(t, V, '-r', 'LineWidth', 2)
xlabel('Time (s)')
ylabel('Velocity (m/s)')
title('Velocity against Acceleration')
xlim([0, 25.5])
hold on
yyaxis right
plot(t, a, '-g', 'LineWidth', 2)
ylabel('Acceleration (m/s^2)')
legend('Velocity','Acceleration')
legend('Location','eastoutside')
grid on
hold off
cla reset
% 1.4 - 2nd Order Polynomial to given Velocity
p2 = polyfit(t,V,2);
VSmooth2 = polyval(p2,t);
plot(t, VSmooth2, '-b', 'LineWidth', 2)
xlabel('Time (s)')
ylabel('Velocity (m/s)')
title('Smoothed Velocity of 2nd Order Polynomial')
legend('2nd Order Smoothed Velocity')
legend('Location','eastoutside')
xlim([0, 25.5])
grid on
cla reset
% 1.5 - 2nd order Smoothed Acceleration based upon Smoothed Velocity
dV2 = gradient(VSmooth2);
dt = 0.5;
aSmooth2 = dV2./dt;

Well, I'm sure you could find a way to use a loop, but considering that the bulk of the code here is plotting and plot configuration, you might be complicating matters by then trying to find a way to index through all the various axes labels, etc.
Once a routine is reduced to a function, calling it would only take a line or two. Writing a flat script would (in my questionable opinion) be sufficiently compact and readable. Something like
% plot this thing
t=1:10;
x=thisisa(functionof([bunch of numbers]));
title='this thing';
labels={'this is time','this is x'};
myplotroutine(t, x, title, labels, myselectedlinecolor, thisisxrange, thisisyrange, otheroptions);
% plot this other thing
y=thisisa(functionof(x));
title='this other thing';
labels={'this is time','this is y'};
myplotroutine(t, y, title, labels, adifferentlinecolor, thisisxrange, thisisyrange, differentoptions);
% plot a third thing
doesn't really seem unreasonably cluttered. It could certainly be made more compact, but how compact does a plotting script need to be? It's really up to you and your requirements.

Hi Daniel,
Your code doesn't seem extra complicated. Writing each plot after each calculation is one way to keep things simple and readable. However, since you mentioned repetitiveness, perhaps you could use a helper function to plot. You may pass all the plotting arguments, such as axes limits, legend(s) etc. This way, you can use default values for the function arguments to scrap away most of the redundant values, such as xlimit being [0 25.5] always.
% function plotHelper(xval, yval, <more plotting params>... )
% Use inputParser object (or function argument validation)
% ... to set default plotting options.
InputParser:
Function Argument Validation
Hope it helps.
