Plot Marker - can it be alphabetical?

Hi,

I want to use alphabetical markers in the plot function. Intuitively one may write the command like this:

plot(x,y,'A')

This doesn't work of course, as 'A' is not in the default marker list.

How can I define other then default markers in the plot function?

Thanks, Marina.

Hi,

Fangjun's suggestion definitely solves part of the problem.

But what I just realised that applying this solution I end up with, at least, 2 other issues:

1. Legend doesn't work any more

2. Rescaling of axis doesn't move text to new rescaled locations

Any suggestions, thanks, Marina.

Certainly my answer is not meant to be the "right" solution, but what do you mean your two remaining issues?

%%

x=1:10;

ya=1:10;

yb=10:-1:1;

figure;hold on;grid on;

plot(x,ya,'r');text(x,ya,'A');

plot(x,yb,'b');text(x,yb,'B');

legend({'A','B'});

axis([-5 15 -5 15]);

As far as I know, that's not available in plot() as of now. All the possible markers are those listed in help plot.

Something like this may serve the purpose:

x=1:10;
y=1:10;
plot(x,y);
text(x,y,'A');

Thanks Fangjun, this works beautifully!
