Controlling markertype and linestyle in plotyy

Hi all

I am using plotyy in the following way:

[AX,H1,H2] = plotyy(x1,y1,x2,[y2a y2b],'plot')

How do I assign different linestyle and markertype to the lines [y2a y2b]?

Cheers

Jakob

Here's one way:

x1 = 1:10;
y1 = 2:11;

x2 = 1:5;
y2a = 2:6;
y2b = 3:7;

figure
[ax h1 h2] = plotyy(x1,y1,x2,[y2a;y2b])

set(h1,'Marker','.','MarkerSize',8)
set(h2(1),'Marker','.','MarkerSize',24)
set(h2(2),'Marker','.','MarkerSize',48)

Note that I could instead have combined the setting of the Marker property for all objects like this:

set([h1;h2],'Marker','.')

Brilliant. Thank you very much! I have been struggling with this one for a while.

If you read the manual (doc plotyy) it tells you exactly how to do it in the example

set(H1,'LineStyle','--')
set(H2,'LineStyle,':')

[the cyclist]

Notice that he wants to potentially set H2(1) and H2(2) to two different values, which is not so obvious.

Im sorry, I should have been more specific: I know how to change the linestyles between H1 and H2. My question is: In this case I have 2 separate lines under H2. Is it possible to change the linestyle of those individually? Essentially what I would like to achieve is plotting these three lines with distinct line/marker features, without resorting to the user-contributed function "plotyyy".
