scatter([1],[1],20,'filled','o');
is working, but the following not:
markers = {'o','s','d'};
scatter([1],[1],20,'filled',markers{1});
Why? How to fix this?

What exactly do you mean by "it is not working"? I can get different markers with this command.

Mr. M,
I tried the following code snippet and it produces a plot with a marker.
markers = {'o','s','d'};
scatter([1],[1],20,'filled',markers{1});
It will be helpful to know what is the result that you are expecting and also the MATLAB release that you are using.

Your code hints that you might be trying to use different markers for different points within one scatter() call, such as if you had done
scatter(rand(1,3),rand(1,3),20,'filled',markers);
hoping that the first point would use the first marker, the second point would use the second marker, and so on.
Any one call to scatter() can only use a single marker type. This is a restriction on scatter(). You can change the marker size for each point and you can change the marker color for each point, but you can only use a single marker type per call.
