prettyplot

Prettier line plots with markers.

Description

PRETTYPLOT works just like PLOT, but avoids the line and markers being on top of each other. Instead, the line joins the markers without touching them.

Example
   figure('position',[200,200,800,600])
   hold on
   set(gca,'xlim',[-3.2,3.2],'ylim',[-3,3])
   x = -pi:pi/10:pi;
   y = tan(sin(x)) - sin(tan(x));
   h = prettyplot(x,y,'-+b',x,2*cos(x),'-xr','LineWidth',2,'MarkerSize',8);
   h = [h;prettyplot(x,randn(size(x)),'-o','LineWidth',1,'MarkerSize',6,'color',[0,0.8,0])];
   legend(h(1:2:end),'demo','cos','randn');

I was looking for an alternative to the Matlab function plot to solve this specific problem with lines on top of markers, so thank you! Funny that I found your function via Matlab Fileexchange when you have written the function "inhouse" =)

Great function!
