plotting a graph for cell

i have a cell array. it has a 12 rows and 1 column. i want to plot the graph for each cell element in the same graph. each cell element should differ in appearance. like circles, triangles and so on.

[Guillaume]

What's in each cell of the cell array (size and type)?

What does the graph refers to? Matlab has many graph plotting functions from simple line graphs to bar, chart, etc. graphs.

i want simple line graph. the type is double and the cell elements have n number of rows and single column. so the number of rows will be my x axis

% make random data 
C = cell(5,1) ;
for i =1:5
    C{i} = rand(10,1) ;
end

% plot 
str = {'.-r','*-k','d-g','^-y','O-b'} ;
figure
hold on
for i = 1:length(C)
    plot(C{i},str{i}) ;
end
legend

But my suggestion woul dbe to go by color instead of markers.

% make random data 
C = cell(5,1) ;
for i =1:5
    C{i} = rand(10,1) ;
end

% plot 
figure
hold on
for i = 1:length(C)
    plot(C{i}) ;
end
legend

Error using plot

Error in color/linetype argument

Error in accelerationrate (line 69)

plot(out{i},str{i});

im getting this error

[KSSV]

YOu should show your whole code.....and also you should mention what is the error.

i got it thanks

The simplest way to plot each vector:

figure;
hold on;
hlines = cellfun(@plot, yourcellarray);

This will plot each vector in a different colour (according to the colourorder property of the figure). Matlab does not have an automatic way to cycle between different markers but you can change them afterward:

markers = {'o', '+', '*', '.', 'x', 's', 'd', '^', 'v', '>', '<', 'p'};  %12 different markers
[hlines.Marker] = markers{:};

[johnson saldanha]

im getting the plot but cant see different markers

[Guillaume]

The lines

markers = {'o', '+', '*', '.', 'x', 's', 'd', '^', 'v', '>', '<', 'p'};  %12 different markers
[hlines.Marker] = markers{:};

will definitively change the markers of the 12 lines to 12 different markers.

[johnson saldanha]

yes i did that. but im not getting the markers
