Linear .
(X,Y) plots vector Y versus vector X. X or Y is a matrix,
then the vector is plotted versus the rows or columns of the matrix,
whichever line up. X is a scalar and Y is a vector, length(Y)
disconnected points are plotted.

(Y) plots the columns of Y versus their index.
Y is complex, (Y) is equivalent to (real(Y),imag(Y)).
In all other uses of , the imaginary part is ignored.

Various line types, symbols and colors may be obtained with
(X,Y,S) where S is a character string made from one element
from any or all the following 3 columns:

y yellow . point – solid
m magenta o circle : dotted
c cyan x x-mark -. dashdot
r red + plus — dashed
g green * star
b blue s square
w white d diamond
k black v triangle (down)
^ triangle (up)
< triangle (left)
> triangle (right)
p pentagram
h hexagram

example, (X,Y,’c+:’) plots a cyan dotted line with a plus
at each data point; (X,Y,’bd’) plots blue diamond at each data
point but does not draw any line.

(X1,Y1,S1,X2,Y2,S2,X3,Y3,S3,…) combines the plots defined by
the (X,Y,S) triples, where the X’s and Y’s are vectors or matrices
and the S’s are strings.

example, (X,Y,’y-’,X,Y,’go’) plots the data twice, with a
solid yellow line interpolating green circles at the data points.

The command, no color is specified, makes automatic use of
the colors specified by the axes ColorOrder property. The default
ColorOrder is listed in the table above color systems where the
default is yellow one line, and multiple lines, to cycle
through the first six colors in the table. monochrome systems,
cycles over the axes LineStyleOrder property.

returns a column vector of handles to LINE objects, one
handle per line.

The X,Y pairs, or X,Y,S triples, can be followed by
parameter/value pairs to specify additional properties
of the lines.
