Bringing plots to the "front" to make them more visible?

I'm plotting 2 quantities: I'm plotting a seried of values and overlaying the mean on top.

The trouble is, the mean line is underneath the main data series which makes it very hard to pickout on the plot. Is there a way to change the ordering so that it sits on top of the other data series like layers in photoshop? I tried playing with the transparency with

p2 = plot(x, data, 'k');
p2.Color(4) = 0.2;
hold on 
plot(x, means)
hold off

"s there a way to change the ordering so that it sits on top of the other data series like layers in photoshop?"

Of course, use UISTACK:

For example:

lnh = plot(2,3,'b-*'); % blue is plotted first
hold on
plot(1:3,2:4,'r-*') % and is underneath red,
uistack(lnh,'top') % but we can bring it to the front!

Use a marker and increase fontsize

p2 = plot(x, data, 'k');
p2.Color(4) = 0.2;
hold on 
plot(x, means,'ro','MarkerSize',12,'MarkerFaceColor','r')
hold off
