MATLAB: Animate line but show marker only on current point

animatedlinemarkerMATLAB

I have data that overlaps itself a lot, so we're animating it for visualization purposes:
h = animatedline('Color', 'b');
DELAY = 0.001;
for i = 1:size(mapped_pts, 1)
    addpoints(h, mapped_pts(i, 1), mapped_pts(i, 2));
    drawnow
%     pause(DELAY)
end
This works, but after a bit the "head" of the line gets harder to pick out, since it's small. I tried adding 'Marker', 'o' to the animatedline parameters, but that leaves a marker at every data point. I'd like to have a marker only on the most recently plotted point. Is this possible?

The COMET function does what you're looking for with respect to the marker, but it requires all the data to be specified when COMET is called. If that's okay for your application, that's what I'd use.
