How can I remove lines connecting markers?

Hello everyone,

I would like to remove the lines connecting markers and keeping just the markers (triangles,circles and asterisks). How can I do it?

Thank you.

I am not certain what the problem actually is.

One option is instead of plotting lines (the default for the plot function), specify it to plot only the markers, for example —

plot(giulia_daily.Time(:,1),[giulia_daily.Var5(:,1) med], '.');

↑ ← SPECIFY MARKER TO PLOT ONLY THE MARKER WITHOUT CONNECTING LINES

See if that gives the desired result.

Thank you, but I don't get anything.

plot(DYMAR(21:end), DATIMARannuali.SMB_mp_mm(21:end,1),'--co', 'MarkerEdgeColor','k','MarkerFaceColor','c', 'DisplayName','.');

The end operator must be used within an array index expression.

This is wrong, and is throwing the error because it is a scalar, not an array:

DYMAR = datetime(DATIMARannuali.Year,1,1);

This works —

DYMAR = DATIMARannuali.Year;

plot(DYMAR(21:end), DATIMARannuali.SMB_mp_mm(21:end,1),'--co', 'MarkerEdgeColor','k','MarkerFaceColor','c', 'DisplayName','.');

Re-define ‘DYMAR’ as I did and that should solve that particular problem.

Sorry for the late reply. I still see the link between markers, as you can see in the image below.

Thank you.

My impression is that including the lines connecting the markers — rather than just the markers themselves — was the desired result.

Just change the line style to whatever works to produce the desired plot.

I would like to have just markers, without the connecting lines.

[Star Strider]

Then just define the LineStyle differently —

DYMAR = DATIMARannuali.Year;
plot(DYMAR(21:end), DATIMARannuali.SMB_mp_mm(21:end,1),'co', 'MarkerEdgeColor','k','MarkerFaceColor','c', 'DisplayName','.');

That should work.

Okay, thank you!
