MATLAB: Line series marker question

plot marker type line series different markers

When plotting, is it possible to have more than one marker type for the same line series? eg…. plot([0 1],[0 1]) – with two different markers?

Best Answer

No, any one lineseries is restricted to a single marker type. If you want different markers then you must either split in to different lineseries or you must text() or line() the markers in to place yourself. If you text() or line() the markers yourself, watch out for the effects of zoom.

You cannot achieve this with the 'plot' command as it does not offer the functionality to control styles for individual markers on a line plot.

However, you can use the 'scatter' function to control the color for individual markers and use the 'plot' command to overlay it with your line plot.

For example :

x = [1 2 3 4 5];
y = [2 4 3 2 6];
c = [ 0 0 1; 0 1 0; 1 0 0; 1 0 1; 0 1 1];
f = plot(x, y, '-')
hold on 
scatter(x,y, [], c, 'filled')
hold off
