MATLAB: Remove the circular “Tips” from stem plots

stem

Is there a way in the handles menu to eliminate the circular "tips" on stem plots? I just want vertical lines as the plots are grouped four to a figure and the circular parts get in the way of the data.
Thanks

A slight adaptation of the example in the help to set marker size will do the trick:
figure
x = 0:25;
y = [exp(-.07*x).*cos(x);exp(.05*x).*cos(x)]';
h = stem(x, y);
set(h(1),'MarkerFaceColor','blue','MarkerSize',0)
set(h(2),'MarkerFaceColor','red','MarkerSize',0)
