How to set line style while using plot in a for loop?

I am trying to plot some data from a structure usign a for loop. I want to set the "linetype" property every iteration. But I don't know how to pass the value of the property to the plot command.

Here is an example of the code:

for j=1:2

    subplot(2,1,j)

    for i=1:3

        plot(sD{i}.t,sD{i}.V(:,j),'linestyle',linS{i}); hold on;
    end
end

however, if I create the cell array

lin={'-','--',':'}

plot does not understand it is the value of line style property. I don't understand of it is possible to send a string to the property value. Is there a way?

The other option I explored is using "findall" to get line objects and change their properties, but still I guess I would not be able to do it in a loop.

I cannot "vectorize" the plot because the variables in the structure have different sizes.

Thanks for your help!

With a slight change (changing lin to be linS) it works for me...

linS = {'-','--',':'};
for j=1:2
    subplot(2,1,j)
    for i=1:3
        plot(randn(10, 1),'linestyle',linS{i}); hold on;
    end
end

I also replaced what you are plotting with randn. What do you get?

Hej again! Thanks a lot once more ... the question had a typo, so I was using the right name of the variable "linS".

However, I was writing the a wrong property value because I was defining

linS={'-','--r','-k'}; %!!!!!

... so I should jut set color with color property :x

see you,
