Plot a data series beneath another one

matlab, plot

Solution

Use the uistack command. For example:

h1 = plot(1:10, 'b');
hold on;
h2 = plot(1:10, 'r');

will plot two lines with the red line plotted on top of the blue line. If you then do:

uistack(h1);

the blue line will be brought to the front.

Problem

When you plot things in Matlab, the most recently plotted data series is placed on top of whatever's already there. For example: ``` figure; hold on plot(sin(linspace(0,pi)),'linewidth',4,'color',[0 0 1]) plot(cos(linspace(0,pi)),'linewidth',4,'color',[1 0 0]) ``` Here, the red line is shown on top of the blue line (where they intersect). Is there any way to set "how deep" a line is drawn, so that you can plot things beneath what's already there?
