How to plot two independent curves as symbols in one graph?
GOAL: I have two independent arrays y1 and y2 and want to plot them depending on x1 and x2 in the same graph. The curves should be plotted as symbols and not as lines. I wrote the following lines: X1=[1:99,1]'; X2=[1:199,1]; Y1=rand(100,1); Y2=rand(200,1)*-1; h=plot(X1,Y1,X2,Y2); axis([0 200 -1 1]) %Curve Properties set(h,{'Color'},{'r';'g'}) set(h,{'LineStyle'},{'s';'v'}) set(h,{'MarkerSize'},{4;4}) PROBLEM: Unfortunately, the curves are not plotted as symbols and the colors are not accepted also. I obtain the following error: Error using set Value cell array handle dimension must match handle vector length I read the instructions to use "set" but did not understand how to correct the command lines. I wonder if someone could help me to fix this.

X1 = [1:99,1]'; X2 = [1:199,1]; Y1 = rand(100,1); Y2 = rand(200,1)*-1; plot(X1,Y1,'rs','markersize',4); hold on; plot(X2,Y2,'gv','markersize',4) axis([0 200 -1 1])
Another way:
X1 =[1:99,1]'; X2 =[1:199,1]; Y1 = rand(100,1); Y2 = rand(200,1)*-1; h = plot(X1,Y1,X2,Y2); axis([0 200 -1 1]) set(h(1),'color','r','linestyle','s','markersize',4); set(h(2),'color','g','linestyle','v','markersize',4);
