1.1 Plot a Subset of Data Matrix with Appropriate Legends

Sometimes we solve a model across many states, but we can only plot at a subset of states, or perhaps we plot at all states, but only show legends/labels for a subset.

In the example below, many lines are plotted, however, only a subset of lines are labeled in the legend.

% Generate Random Data

it_y_groups_n = 100;
ar_y = linspace(1,2,it_y_groups_n);
mat_y = rand([it_x_n, it_y_groups_n]);
mat_y = mat_y + sqrt(1:it_y_groups_n);
mat_y = mat_y + log(1:it_x_n)' + ar_y;
ar_x = 1:1:it_x_n;

% Jet color Graph All
figure('PaperPosition', [0 0 7 4]);
chart = plot(mat_y);
clr = jet(numel(chart));
