Hello,

When a marker is used in a plot, the marker does not change its size (size compared to screen). Two questions:

1) is it possible to create a custom marker to be used in a plot? If yes, how?

2) let's say that I have a 2D-filled region, but if I zoom in/out, the region will be zoomed too. How could I keep the size of the region fixed compared to screen (like a maker that does not change its size)?

Thanks

Marker properties are adjusted through line properties, which can be set for example through plot:

h = plot(rand(3),"marker","o","markersize",20,"color","blue")

You can always adjust the size of the marker later by using the plot handle

set(h,"markersize",40)

To scale it as you desire, just multiply the previous marker size by the factor by which you've zoomed in.
