Line PropertiesMarker SpecifierphnoneDescriptionfive-pointed star (pentagram)six-pointed star (hexagram)no marker (default)MarkerEdgeColorColorSpec | none | {auto}Marker edge color. The color of the marker or the edge color for filled markers(circle, square, diamond, pentagram, hexagram, and the four triangles).ColorSpec defines the color to use. none specifies no color, which makesnonfilled markers invisible. auto sets MarkerEdgeColor to the same color asthe line’s Color property.MarkerFaceColorColorSpec | {none} | autoMarker face color. The fill color for markers that are closed shapes (circle,square, diamond, pentagram, hexagram, and the four triangles). ColorSpecdefines the color to use. none makes the interior of the marker transparent,allowing the background to show through. auto sets the fill color to the axescolor, or the figure color, if the axes Color property is set to none (which is thefactory default for axes).MarkerSize size in pointsMarker size. A scalar specifying the size of the marker, in points. The defaultvalue for MarkerSize is six points (1 point = 1/72 inch). Note that MATLABdraws the point marker (specified by the '.' symbol) at one-third the specifiedsize.ParenthandleLine’s parent. The handle of the line object’s parent axes. You can move a lineobject to another axes by changing this property to the new axes handle.Selectedon | offIs object selected. When this property is on. MATLAB displays selectionhandles if the SelectionHighlight property is also on. You can, for example,define the ButtonDownFcn to set this property, allowing users to select theobject with the mouse.2-283
