How do I change default plot colors to green and blue for multiple patternCustom polar plots?

6 views (last 30 days)
When using multiple patternCustom plots, I can't seem to change the default colors to Green and Purple without them getting overwritten. Here is an example of what I have for the figure:
figure;
A = patternCustom( magE_H , theta_H , phi_H, CoordinateSystem="polar", Slice="theta", SliceValue=[100]);
hold on;
B = patternCustom( magE_V , theta_V , phi_V, CoordinateSystem="polar", Slice="theta", SliceValue=[100]);
B.AngleAtTop = 0;
B.TitleTopTextInterpreter = 'tex';
B.TitleTop = '5 GHz \phi = -10\circ'
l = legend(gca); l.delete;
legend(gca, 'H-pol', 'V-pol');
hold off;

patternCustom() returns an object handle to lines or else to a surface() object.
When you are plotting multiple patternCustom() results to the same axes, you run into the problem that there is only one colormap per axes.
