How to change the order of lines in a Matlab figure?

Question

Given a plot of three curves in a .fig file I\'d like to add another plot (with hold all and plot), but put it behind one of the already e

Answer 1

The Children property holds the references and the order dictates the graphics stack.

Another option how to retrieve the list is

gcaChildrenList=gca.Children;

This way you can play with the orders like

gca.Children=gca.Children([2:end 1]);         % Put the topmost graphic in the bottom
gca.Children=gca.Children([end:-1:1]);        % Flip the stack
gca.Children=gca.Children([1:N-1 N+1:end N]); % Put Nth graphics ontop the stack
