Subplot VAR variables in one figure

I have generated a m-dimensional (m=5) sample of T observations, from a VAR model of lag order p. I want to generate one figure with m subplots, each for every variable in the sample. I have found and copied this code, but an error occurs: the first times, problem with axes properties occurred ("--- is not a valid axes line style", something like this), now it just crashes. How could I do what I would like to do?

Y=Y(:,p+1:end); %Y is the mXT matrix containing the m-dimensional sample.

FS=15;
LW=2;
gr_size2=ceil(m/3);
figure(1)
set(0,'DefaultAxesColorOrder',[0 0 1],...
'DefaultAxesLineStyleOrder','-|-|-')
set(gcf,'Color',[1 1 1])
set(gcf,'defaultaxesfontsize',FS)
for k=1:m
subplot(gr_size2,2,k)
plot(Y(k,:),'b','Linewidth',LW)
title(sprintf('Y_%d',k))
end

Your gr_size2 value is 2, so you are creating a 2x2 subplot grid and trying to plot 5 subplots with k=1:5 ? What is the error you are getting, it would help if you can paste the error message.

Error using axes

The value '---' is not a valid line style.

Error in subplot (line 591)

ax = axes('Units', 'normalized', 'Position', position, ...

The argument of the default line style is not correct

Try using only '-' without any | dashes

Try using only '-' without any | dashes

It should work

I just tried your code with a dummy matrix, values and see no error regarding linestyle. It would help if you can attach your matrix.

Z = peaks;
m = 6;
gr_size2=ceil(m/3);
figure(1)
set(0,'DefaultAxesColorOrder',[0 0 1],...
'DefaultAxesLineStyleOrder','-|-|-');
set(gcf,'Color',[1 1 1])
set(gcf,'defaultaxesfontsize',FS)
for k=1:6
    subplot(3,3,k)
        plot(Z(k,:),'b','Linewidth',LW)
        title(sprintf('Y_%d',k))
end

The error is caused due to call of axes after setting the 'defaultAxesLineStyleOrder' to -|-|-.

This issue is fixed from 2019b.

As a workaround if you are using release earlier R2019b you may use below command

set(0,'defaultAxesColorOrder',[0 0 1],'defaultAxesLineStyleOrder','-');

Also, in the question mentioned above, you wanted to create m-subplot but in the code your are not plotting m-subplot this may affect the result.

Refer the subplot documentation
