Plots and legend don't match

Hi,

I have a FOR loop where I'm plotting two different graphs. I'm then specifying the legend entries outside the loop.

for jj=1:5
  plot(app.AccTabTorqueProfile,app.Motor.(sprintf('SR%d',jj)).RPM, app.Motor.(sprintf('SR%d',jj)).Torque, app.Motor.(sprintf('SR%d',jj)).RPM, app.Motor.(sprintf('SR%d',jj)).Torque*-app.const.mot.regen_trq_fac,"Color",C{jj});
  hold(app.AccTabTorqueProfile, 'on');
  drawnow;
  plot(app.AccTabPowerProfile,app.Motor.(sprintf('SR%d',ii)).RPM,app.Motor.(sprintf('SR%d',ii)).PWR/1000,app.Motor.(sprintf('SR%d',ii)).RPM,app.Motor.(sprintf('SR%d',ii)).PWR*-app.const.mot.regen_trq_fac/1000,"Color",C{ii});
  hold(app.AccTabPowerProfile, 'on');
  drawnow;
end
legend(app.AccTabTorqueProfile,"SR1","SR2","SR3","SR4","SR5");
legend(app.AccTabPowerProfile,"SR1","SR2","SR3","SR4","SR5");
                

This code gives the same colours to "SR1" and "SR2", same for "SR3" and "SR4", and a third color for "SR5". Can someone help me plot the same colors in the legend as well?

                    plot(app.AccTabPowerProfile,app.Motor.(sprintf('SR%d',ii)).RPM,app.Motor.(sprintf('SR%d',ii)).PWR/1000,app.Motor.(sprintf('SR%d',ii)).RPM,app.Motor.(sprintf('SR%d',ii)).PWR*-app.const.mot.regen_trq_fac/1000,"Color",C{ii});

Is there a relationship between ii used to index here, compared to the jj that you are looping over ?

Besides Walter's note that you're using ii in the second plot instead of jj,it would be cleaner/simpler to do something like

for jj=1:5
  vname="SR"+jj;        % use string class overloaded plus operator 
  plot(app.AccTabTorqueProfile, ...
       app.Motor.(vname).RPM, app.Motor.(vname).Torque, ...
       app.Motor.(vname).RPM, app.Motor.(vname).Torque*-app.const.mot.regen_trq_fac,...
       "Color",C{jj},'DisplayName',vname);
  if jj==1,;hold(app.AccTabTorqueProfile, 'on');end
  drawnow;
  plot(app.AccTabPowerProfile, ...
       app.Motor.(vname).RPM,app.Motor.(vname).PWR/1000, ...
       app.Motor.(vname).RPM,app.Motor.(vname).PWR*-app.const.mot.regen_trq_fac/1000, ...
       "Color",C{jj},'DisplayName',vname);
  if jj==1,;hold(app.AccTabPowerProfile, 'on');end
  drawnow;
end

where I've also assumed the ii was a typo and changed it to jj

Making that change alone would undoubtedly fix the problem by making them consistent usage of color (not to mention fixing up the data to not be the same for all for the second plot since ii isn't varying in the above code).

Thanks a lot for the response!

And yes, the 'ii' and 'jj' thing was a typo...
