Dots in plot are either too big or too small.

I'm trying to control the dot size in the plot command, but there seems to be only a few sizes available with the standard figure window.

If you use plot(x,y,'.','MarkerSize',sz) then for sz<6 the dots are tiny (probably 1x1 pixel) and for sz>=6 they are quite large.

If you output as an eps/pdf then the dot size is fine - no nasty size jumps.

Is there a way to get the matlab figure window to correctly reflect the marker size?

Matthew, you might want to try a different marker, such as o or * .

 plot(x,y,'o','MarkerSize',sz)

For some of these you can also define a MarkerFaceColor.

Thanks - I just figured the same thing out and was about to answer my own question!!
