Add plot markers to an existing plot

Add a specified number of markers to a plot

Description

Add a specified number of markers to a plot instead of a marker at each datapoint which is the default in Matlab

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.5 (R2007b)

Useful but it seems you need to increase the number of markers by 2 to obtain the correct number.

Thanks for the update. A couple of minor issues. The function won't cope with more than 13 plots, and also fails if called with N=1. There's not much you can do about this but a clear error message for these cases would be an improvement and would have saved me about 10 seconds :-)

I'm surprised this hasn't got more good ratings and comments.
May I suggest you also copy the LineWidth and MarkerSize properties from the original plot to the markers. Currently you only copy the LineStyle and Color. Even if there are no markers in the original plot the MarkerSize property can still be set.

Yep, with some additional changes (such as Carl Fischer suggested) this is very useful code!

I like this function but when I set(gca,'Xlim',[startnum endnum]) the plot extend outside of the box.
