createLineInColorOrder

24 Sep 2002 (Updated 02 Jul 2009)

Force each created line to obey the axes 'ColorOrder' property.

File Information
Description	* NOTE: As of MATLAB® 7.0 (R14), this feature is available at the axes level by using the command "hold all". Use "doc hold" for more information. * When lines are created using MATLAB PLOT commands, they are created in a color order specified by the axes' 'ColorOrder' property. However, this only works if you plot multiple lines using the same call to PLOT. Otherwise, they are all created using a single default color. This function will help you to force all lines within an axes to be plotted in the 'ColorOrder' of that axes, regardless of whether they are all created using the same PLOT command or multiple plot commands. See "help createLineInColorOrder" for more information. Works for at least MATLAB® 5.2 (R10) and later.

31 Mar 2003	Sarah Green	This is a very useful utility. It works at root, figure, or axis level. I've been looking for a way to do this for ages! Thanks.
26 Jul 2003	Nate Bachman	Note: the help says 'ON' but you have to use 'on'. no big deal. Also note that the legend defaults do not follow the colororder property (not the fault of this program). Kudos to Greg for solving a problem that shouldn't exist. Please, Mathworks.
19 Apr 2005	S Goswami	Fantastic. Just what I have been trying to do for the last two hours!! Thanks a lot.
05 Aug 2005	Val Anderson	This is a good program. But, you need to do createLineInColorOrder off; before you create a legend. The legend() call seems to call createLineInColorOrder for some reason, and then the legend colors get messed up. Turning createLineInColorOrder off before you call legend() seems to get around this.
