How to change properties of several plots simultaneously?

48 views (last 30 days)
I want to set properties of several plots all at once instead of setting them individually.
figure(1)
plot(x,y,'--gs','LineWidth',...'MarkerSize',...,'MarkerEdgeColor',...,'MarkerFaceColor',...)
figure(2)
plot(xx,yy,'--gs','LineWidth',...'MarkerSize',...,'MarkerEdgeColor',...,'MarkerFaceColor',...)
figure(3)
plot(xxx,yyy,'--gs','LineWidth',...'MarkerSize',...,'MarkerEdgeColor',...,'MarkerFaceColor',...)
,...
Assuming that properties are the same (linewidth, markersize,...) I want to set them once and not repeat it for each plot.
Thanks in advance

Save the line handles when you plot and use set() See the doc for syntax and examples.
(BTW, the properties don't even have to be the same value...)

x = 0:360;
y1 = sind(x);
y2 = cosd(x);
figure
h1 = plot(x, y1);
figure
h2 = plot(x, y2);
set([h1, h2], 'Marker', '^', 'LineStyle', '--', 'MarkerIndices', 1:10:numel(x))
Or write a function that accepts x and y data, opens a figure and calls plot with the appropriate properties, then call that function repeatedly with each of your data sets.

App Designer is the replacement for GUIDE; it is a UI design tool. It creates a class to hold all of the data. It also uses the new uifigure() and uiaxes() and related objects.
