How to plot different iterations into one figure at the same time in order to compare the difference in time

I have the following code:

clc;
close all;
clear all;
load CS1.mat     
Days_SATP=              CS1([1:21:189],[2]);    
L_ATP=                  CS1([2:21],[1]);         
for j=(1:9);                               
  Sw=                  CS1([(2+(21*(j-1))):(21*j)],[2]);  
  mat(j,:)=Sw;            
end
figure;
H = plot(L_ATP,mat(1, :));
title('Aqueous phase')
xlabel('Length (-)')
ylabel('Saturation')
axis([0 1 0 1])
for k = 2:9
  pause(0.5);
  set(H, 'YData', mat(k, :));
end

load CS2.mat
for j=(1:9);                               
  Sw=                  CS2([(2+(21*(j-1))):(21*j)],[2]); 
  mat(j,:)=Sw;            
end
figure;
H = plot(L_ATP,mat(1, :));
title('Aqueous phase')
xlabel('Length (-)')
ylabel('Saturation')
axis([0 1 0 1])
for k = 2:9
  pause(0.5);
  set(H, 'YData', mat(k, :));
end

which gives me two plots after each other for a different data set. How can I plot both the data of CS1 and CS2 simultaneously in one figure, so that I can see the difference between CS1 and CS2 in the figure more clearly?

I tried the following, with different tries for the set(...) part, but I can't figure it out:

clc;
close all;
clear all;
load CS1.mat
load CS2.mat

L_ATP=                  CS1([2:21],[1]);      
for j=(1:9);                             
  Sw=                  CS1([(2+(21*(j-1))):(21*j)],[2]); 
  mat(j,:)=Sw;             
  Sw2=                  CS2([(2+(21*(j-1))):(21*j)],[2]); 
  mat2(j,:)=Sw2;                   
end
figure;
H = plot(L_ATP,mat(1, :),L_ATP,mat2(1,:));
%title,lables,axis
for k = 2:9
  pause(0.5);
  set(H, 'YData', (mat(k, :),mat2(k,:)));
end

Hi Martin,

To retain current plot while adding new plots, use the "hold" function. More information about this can be found here:
