ft_singleplotER can handle receiving multiple data structures (e.g., ft_singleplotER(cfg, data1, data2, ..., dataN)) and can plot each of those in a different color with cfg.graphcolor, but it cannot plot each data structure in a different linestyle. It would be nice to be able to do this, especially because it is good to make sure the lines look different if the plots were printed out on a grayscale printer. I suggest allowing input of linestyles as a cell, e.g., cfg.linestyle = {'--','-.','-'};. You would just have to change the ~isfield(cfg,'linestyle') command to make '-' a cell, and change the linestyle input in the ft_plot_vector to cfg.linestyle{k-1}.

You would also want to check that the linestyle is a string in a cell in case the user inputs something like cfg.linestyle = '--'.
