Implementing arrayfun for the yline function

Hi there,

I have been trying to implement arrayfun for the function yline. In specific I have the following code:

figure 

    arrayfun(@(x, y) yline(x, y), [4 5], {'--', '-.'})

However, I get the following error

Error using colstyle
Requires a string scalar or a character vector argument.

I suspect it is comming from the {'--', '-.'} argument, since if I exclude it and simply have arrayfun(@(x) yline(x), [4 5]), then it works as expected. However, I still need to differentiate the linestyle of the two ylines, and I wouldn't like to mess with for loops. So what am I doing wrong in this case?

Thanks for your responses in advance.

figure(1)
arrayfun(@(x, y) yline(x, y), [4 5], ["--", "-."])
    ylim([0,6])

I see, the double quotes did the trick. Thanks!
