I would like to add timing information to a plot with X and Y data by varying the color of the line from 1:length(X). I attempted to do this with meshgrid and mesh, but the results were not informative.

Is there an easy way to vary the point by point color of a line?

I can see how to do this using 'hold' and plotting individual segments within a loop, but it seems like there should be a better way.

Try scatter.
