Same color lines in legend using a for loop

When I try and run this code, all the lines in the legend show up as red lines instead of different colors.

hold on 
for i = 1:length(g)

if g(i) >= 2 
  
plot(x,y,Color='b'); 

else 
plot(x2,y2,Color='r'); 
  
  
end
end
 hold off
 
 hold on 
plot(x2,y2,Color='y');

plot(x3,x3,,Color='m');

hold off
 
 legend('l1','l2','l3','l4')

1 - Do not use equal-to "=" sign between 'Color', and color value, inside the plot() function.

Use a comma ","

2 - Using "hold on" immediately after "hold off" seems a bit redundant.

3 - You might be overwriting the x2-y2 curve, color 'r' with itself x2-y2 curve, color 'y'. In the case, you would only find 3 curves

Other than this, I can not say what the error is (if it occurs after considering above points), data for the variables will be required to make any more comments on it.

hello

why make simple things complicated ?

if you have only 4 arrays to plot , you could do directly the plot like this - and the colors appears correctly in the legend box

% dummy data
x = 1:5;
y = 2*x+1;
x2 = 1.5*x;
y2 = 2*y+1;
x3 = 0.5*x;

% plot
figure
plot(x,y,'b',x2,y2,'r',x2+1,y2+1,'y',x3,x3,'m');
 legend('l1','l2','l3','l4')

if you want a for loop and assign a color / line style different to each line , you can do this :

 t = 0:pi/50:2*pi;
MarkerStyle={'o','+','*','x','s','d','v','>'};
Colors=[1 0 0; 1 0 1; 0 1 0; 0.4660 0.6740 0.1880; 0 0 1; 0.3010 0.7450 0.9330; 0.8500 0.3250 0.0980; 0.9290 0.6940 0.1250]
figure(1),hold on 
for ck = 1:8
    p = plot(t,sin((1+0.2*ck)*t),'LineWidth',2,'Color',Colors(ck,:),'Marker',MarkerStyle{ck});
    leg_str{ck} = (['Line #' num2str(ck)]);
end
legend(leg_str);

hello

if my answer has helped you, do you mind accepting it ?

thanks

This does'nt work for me, is it possible that this only works for plots but not for error bars? Or what other possible mistakes have i made?

color = [0.933 0.443 0.0; 0.0 0.30588 0.62351; 0.0 0.6588 0.475; 161./255 217./255 248./255; 0./255 120./255 120./255];
Legends={'10,2 °C'; '15 °C'; '21,8 °C'; '26 °C'; '30 °C'};

%get multiple sets of data
for file_j = 1:5
    file = strcat('Kennlinien', '_', num2str(file_j), '.txt');
data = load(file,'txt');
U = data(:,1); % Voltage Data
I = data(:,2); % Current Data

%errors
errU = 0.01.*ones(size(U));
errI = 0.01.*ones(size(I));

%plot
e = errorbar(I ,U , errU, errU, errI, errI, 'o', 'Color', color(file_j,:),'Marker','o', 'MarkerSize',6);
Legend{file_j}=(['T_' num2str(file_j) '=' Legends{file_j}]);

end

Error using load
Unable to find file or directory 'Kennlinien_1.txt'.

legend(Legend,'Location', 'Northwest');

hello

seems that the file "Kennlinien_1.txt" is simply not present in your current directory

please double check

dir *.txt

all the best
