Thanks Andy, I really appreciate it. I was using 3.2.4 because that's what macports provides by default (I had assumed that keeping macports fully up-to-date would automatically give me recent stable versions; silly me). So I'm in the process of switching to octave-devel, which will be 3.6.3. That would also explain why a lot of the other markers didn't work...

Hi Bob,
"none" works for me on default 139f4b19a3ac. I guess this has been changed or fixed since your 3.2.4 (very old) version. Is there a reason you still have 3.2.4?
See http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_MacOS_X if you want to install a newer version.


h=plot(1:10)
set(h,"marker","+")
set(h,"marker","none")


Values for "marker" are "{none}|s|o|x|+|.|*|<|>|v|^|d|p|h|@"

Regards, Andy

By the way, if someone is editing this page, it would be great if it included a full list of the allowable markers (documentation of this seems to be very well hidden).

The documentation says http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Marker-Styles.html that the marker property value "none" causes the marker to be omitted. On my system, this causes an abort; I think the correct value is "" (i.e. a null string). This may be what the author intended, but it's clearly mis-stated.
