How do I get a different format line in plot? How do I plot color plots from Matlab?
Matlab seems to have some problem plotting color plots. There are some parameters which need to be set which at the time of writing were unavailable to the author. However there are some ways around this. To be sure that the background is right. You can click on the Matlab figure window, File>Preferences. And then chose Copying Options Tab. Here select “white background” and either “windows metafile” or “windows bitmap” deselect everything else. Now, in the figure window you can click Edit> Copy Figure. This will put the plot in color on the clipboard. Now you can open Paint or Word and do Edit> Paste. And get the picture in that application and then print. This works fine and gives color. Ofcourse, one needs a color printer for this to work 🙂 If however no color printer is available or you just want to save on money, use the plot() function to give different line formats.
