Linestyles & Marker styles when plotting a matrix

How can I specify the markers and linestyles using the plot or semilogy commands when I am plotting a matrix? I understand how to use triplets (x,y,s) for plotting individual lines. How do I do the same when plotting plot(Y) where Y is a matrix? Including the 'marker' property in the plot command seems to apply the same marker to all lines. Thanks!

It's hard to do that in the plot command, but the set command can do it:

h = plot(magic(3));
set(h,{'Marker'},{'+';'s';'o'})

The syntax is a little odd, isn't it? What's going on is that plot returned a 3x1 array of handles to line objects. The {} syntax to set says that I'm giving you a property name and an array of values, and I want you that property of each of the objects to the corresponding value.

Does that make sense?

Many thanks -- that is exactly what I was looking for. I was using the wrong syntax. The curly braces did the trick!

@luis:

data = (1:10).'+(0:3);
plot(data,'s')
