Question

I have a 2D space in which a function value is defined (you can think of it as a manifold). Now I plotted the function value using contourf and changed the colormap to something softer than jet. So far it looks quite good.

Now I want to draw a line representing the state over time in my space. That is also possible using the the plot command. But I want some more improvements: There is an additional state that is hidden for now (value 0…50). I would like the line color to change according to this hidden state. So in a sense to apply a separate colormap to the line plotted by plot like for example in a waterfall plot.

Is this (or something similar) possible using matlab?

Thanks

Have a look into the cline.m function from file exchange, I think it is exactly what you need.
