Question

When plotting multiple data series using both line specification (X,Y,linespec) triplets and (PropertyName,PropertyValue) doublets, only a single MarkerSize can be specified and this size applies to all data series. For instance,

plot(X1,Y1,'.b',X2,Y2,'-r','MarkerSize',5)

Is it possible to specify a different MarkerSize for each of the different data series without resorting to plotting the data series separately or subsequently altering plot handle properties? Neither of the following two commands is valid, but they give an idea of the desired result:

plot(X1,Y1,'.b',X2,Y2,'-r','MarkerSize',[5 10])
plot(X1,Y1,'.b','MarkerSize',5,X2,Y2,'-r','MarkerSize',10)

Answer 1

Try:

h = plot(X1,Y1,'.b',X2,Y2,'*r');
set(h(1),'MarkerSize',5);
set(h(2),'MarkerSize',2);
