Getting color in a "timeseries plot"

Hi, I am plotting a timeseries using a function like this "ts1 = timeseries(DD1,1:length(DD1))" I manage to plot "plot(ts1,'.') and it looks nice. However I would like to get color into the graph based on a second vector. Is this possible? I know "scatter" has this function but it does not work on my ts data..

What i want is date on x-axis, Wind direction on y-axis and Wind speed displayed as color. Can anyone help me please?

Not directly out of the box, but search the File Exchange

• PlotColor by Bruno Luong
• Conditionally Colored Plot (CCPLOT) by Michael Heidingsfeld
• Perceptually improved colormaps by Matteo Niccoli

and there are more - I guess

hello,

in that case you can use for loop, I tried to provide basic example..

for i=1:length(ts1)

    if ts1(i)<criteria_1
    plot(ts1,'.','y')
    hold on
    else
    plot(ts1,'.','r')
    hold on
    end
 end

Thank you, i guess that is the best solution, i was hoping there where a simple comand.

hello,

you can append 'r', 'g' ....

plot(ts1,'.r')

or

plot(ts1,'.','Color',[0,0.2,0.8])

Yes that changes the color from blue to red. But i want each "dot" ('.') to have a color based on what the Wind speed is. Sorry I am not the best at explaning Things.
