how to plot cdfplot with different line style?

Hi all,

I am trying to compare observed streamflow versus simulated (coming from two models) data for the calibration and validation period. I need to assign a different line style and color to each set of data but should be consistent in both subplots.

I have written down this code but can't get the line style out of it (here is some random data)

    Xobc=randn(1000,1);X1=randn(1000,1)+10; X2=randn(1000,1)*5;
    Xobv=randn(500,1)*5; X3=randn(500,1)+2; X4=randn(500,1)*3;
      figure
      subplot(2,1,1); 
      hold on
      cdfplot(Xobc); %Observed 
      cdfplot(X1); % Model-1 
      cdfplot(X2); % Model-2 
      set(gca, 'ylim', [0, 1.1])
      title('Calibration')

      subplot(2,1,2); 
      hold on
      cdfplot(Xobv); %Observed 
      cdfplot(X3); % Model-1 
      cdfplot(X4); % Model-2 
      set(gca, 'ylim', [0, 1.1])
      title('Validation')
      xlabel('Streamflow (m^3/Sec)');
      legend('Observed Streamflow','Model-1','Model-2');

I attached, my original data set plot as well. What would one get from the CDFplot at first place?? Is this a good comparison aside from the daily hydrographs? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I have the same problem

[Walter Roberson]

      h(1, 1) = cdfplot(Xobc); %Observed 
      h(1, 2) = cdfplot(X1); % Model-1 
      h(1, 3) = cdfplot(X2); % Model-2

and

      h(2,1) = cdfplot(Xobv); %Observed 
      h(2, 2) = cdfplot(X3); % Model-1 
      h(2, 3) = cdfplot(X4); % Model-2

and

set( h(:,1), 'LineStyle', '-', 'Color', 'b');
set( h(:,2), 'LineStyle', '.-', 'Color', 'g');
set( h(:,3), 'LineStyle', '--', 'Color', 'r');

Dear Walter,

thanks for your help.

It really helped me in setting my CDF plot.

May I ask you how did you find the solution?

Best.

Hi Walter,

Thank you for your answer, it really helped me set-up my CDF plot.

Regards :)
