Get access to Marker handle of a line plot

I trying to get acces of the "MarkerHandle" of a line plot:

h_plot = line(x,y); hMarkers = get(h_plot,'MarkerHandle');

It works great in case I am running the code in debug mode. Unfortunatelly, running the program in "normal" mode, I don't get access to the handle (results in "0×0 empty GraphicsPlaceholder array"). Any ideas?

Sounds like a concurrency issue to me. Did you try with an intermediate "drawnow"?

While using the line function try to mention the marker as the input to the function,

e.g:

h_plot = line(x,y,'Marker','o')

And then try to access the hMarkers =

get(h_plot,'MarkerHandle');

Thank's for the reply. Last week I tried the proposed way too, without any effect.

Nevertheless, I solved the problem using the scatter function. So far, I didn't know this plotting routine:

scatter(x,y,[],linspace(1,10,size(x)));

Matlab optimisation somehow destroys proper marker definitions.

Hack-solution: pause between creating the plot and fetching the markers.

h_plot = line(x,y); 
pause(0.0000000001);
hMarkers = get(h_plot,'MarkerHandle');
