This is what I always do:
x = linspace(1,2*pi,250);
v = 1:5;
y = cos(v'*x);
h = colormap(jet(5));
figure(1)
plot(x,y(1,:),'Color', h(1,:))
hold on
for k1 = 2:5
plot(x,y(k1,:), 'Color',h(k1,:))
end
hold off
grid
Slightly cumbersome, but automated and effective. Experiment with the colormap to get the result you want.
You probably have to build the marker array yourself.
NOTE — R2014b now cycles the colours without having to do anything special.
