multiple bode plots on same graph

Hi,
Does anyone know how to plot multiple bode plots using the "bode" function? I know that the easiest way to do this would be to use
bode(sys1, sys2)
but this assumes that both of these functions are written in the "tf" form.
The problem i am having is that I would like to plot an array of data, with a 'tf' data on the same plot. However, I can't quite get it to work the way i want.
So what i want is to plot the bode plot first
bode(A)
and then be able to plot the magnitude and phase in the corresponding bode figure which uses the code
semilogx(f, data(:,1))
semilogx(f,data(:,2))
for the magnitude.
has anyone done this before?

I was able to solve the problem, a Prof. at my university helped me.
Here's the code.
semilogx([10 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 8000 9000 10000 ], [2 2.3 13.3 26.3 -6.46 -11.7 -15.6 -18.8 -20.9 -23.4 -25.2 -37.9 -44.8 -50 -53.9 -57 -59.6 -62 -64 -65 ]);
hold on
num=[0 1];
den=[0.000000495 0.000033 1];
system1=tf(num,den);
bode(system1)
best wishes

It's working for me:
figure(1);
hold on;
bode(W1); %here you need a system or transfer function or space-state model, etc..
bode(W2);
hold off;

Maybe something with hold on?!
g = tf([1 0.1 7.5],[1 0.12 9 0 0]);
bode(g)
hold on
g = tf([1],[1 0.12 9 0 0]);
bode(g)

unfortunately it is not that simple. my code looks more like
g = tf([1 0.1 7.5],[1 0.12 9 0 0]);
bode(g)
hold on
semilogx(f, data)
the way you have done it assumes both plots are using 'tf'm which could also be plotted just with
bode(g1,g2)

I have the same question, none of these answers seem to address the issue of having two different types of data sets on the same bode plot. Did you ever resolve this?

You can create an frd object from your data and then plot it like any other LTI object.
[ResponseData,Frequencies]=freqresp(5*tf(1,[1,1,1])); % Example Data
sys1 = tf(1,[1,1]);
sys2 = frd(ResponseData,Frequencies)
bode(sys1,sys2)

For my assignment, I had to plot the same graph with different values of one parameter. I wrote this:
for N = 1: .5 : 3 % 6 values
Jl = .002*N; % the parameter to be changed
% skipping most of code
if N == 1 % only create one figure window on the first iteration
figure
hold on % only turn on 'hold' on the first iteration
end % end if
bode(sys); % plot output
grid
title("Stiffness: MA controller");
end % end for loop
hold off
Produces the following output:
