MATLAB: Plotting with different colored markers

markersplot

Hi All,
As you know, the plot command gives each line a different color so that the user can distinguish between the each dataset. When you have two lines, you have 2 colors…6 lines, 6 colors etc. Very convenient.
How can I do this but for markers instead? The number of datasets I want to plot is different each time…I might have 2,3,4,5 up to x datasets. Is there a way to represent each set using a different marker (when the number of sets is variable)?

You can use scatter() and give each marker its own color if you want. You can put them on top of a line/curve plot if you want if you call "hold on" in between calls to plot() and scatter().
