Is it possible to plot a plot() and area() on same axis

Hi,

I am doing data analysis and am trying to plot a data set of y over x with area() and then plot a line of moving avg of y over x with plot() on the same axis. currently it doesn't work. Meaning i get the second graph vs. both at the same time.

Has anyone come up with a solution for this?

y1 = B57(x,2);
              Avg1 = movmean(y1,7)
              area(PlotAX1,1:length(B57),y1);  
              area(PlotAX1,1:length(B57),Avg1)

Use the hold function:

B57 = rand(1, 100);                                 % Create ‘B57’
y1 = B57;

PlotAX1 = axes;                                     % Create ‘PlotAX1’

Avg1 = movmean(y1,7);
area(PlotAX1,1:length(B57),y1);
hold on
area(PlotAX1,1:length(B57),Avg1)
hold off

That's perfect. For second plot i actually needed plot(). I plugged that in and it worked perfectly!

Great!
