How to Specify Line Color & Style

Hi, I have created a scatterplot graph but am confused on how to incorporate how I can specify the line type for each variable. For example, If I add '-' to the scatterplot function, it ruins the whole graph. I would like for it to look like this:

But, my current code yields:

numVal =[2006 95 30 42 149

2007 109 33 43 164

2008 95 33 36 167

2009 95 42 39 209

2010 117 35 33 176

2011 114 29 39 147

2012 120 22 40 110

2013 126 30 44 151

2014 120 33 43 166];

figure;

title('Cholesterol Fall 2018');

scatter(numVal(:,1),numVal(:,2), 'filled','cyan');

hold on;

xlabel('year');

scatter(numVal(:,1),numVal(:,3), 'filled','r','o' );

scatter(numVal(:,1),numVal(:,4), 'filled','green','o');

scatter(numVal(:,1),numVal(:,5), 'filled','blue','d');

grid on;

legend('LDL Cholesterol','VLDL Cholesterol','HDL Cholesterol','Trygliycerides','Location','northwest')

title('Cholesterol Fall 2018');

Use plot() instead of scatter(). For example,

plot(numVal(:,1),numVal(:,4), 'g-o', 'markerfacecolor', 'g');

Thanks for the response.

I tried this and it still does not work, it messes the graph up.

[Adam Danz]

Could you provide a screen shot or attach the messed up figure?

Also, could you show the code that messes up the figure?

[Ashwin Sivalingam]

Your edited answer works, thanks!!

I just added: 'markerfacecolor', 'g'

By 'messed up' you must have meant that the markers were not filled to the same color as the edges.

Glad it worked out!
