Thanks a lot! It took me quite a while to figure out why my functions suddenly stopped working.
Again, thanks! you made my day.

Hi
This article has been very useful for me! I struggled few hours with this before I found this. Since I need to manipulate the individual points in a specific order it is worth noting that the order in, which the handle is returned with the ‘v6’ option is exactly the opposite of what the ‘Children’ property returns meaning that the first object is on top instead of on the bottom. I hope this helps to others and I have to say it is very disappointing Matlab decided to do this in such manner…

I do not like the method of using deprecated functions – they might just disappear the next release.

I suggest using something like this:

data = rand(227,2);
hggroup(1) = scatter(data(1:100,1),data(1:100,2));
hold on
hggroup(2) = scatter(data(101:200,1),data(101:200,2));
hggroup(3) = scatter(data(201:227,1),data(201:227,2));

By default, it is plotted in different colours, but that can be easily overcome.

In reply to Venkat. Venkat - Interesting question. Unfortunately, I do not know if it can be done or how.

Hi Yair,
In my GUI, I have to add/delete/adjust lot of graphs. In matlab compiler documentation, PLOTTOOLS is stated under List of Unsupported Functions.
Is there any way to get PLOTTOOLS working with the compiled code of standalone EXE?

In reply to Naor. Naor - Perhaps I should have been clearer: scatter works correctly even with 101+ data points, as you correctly said. However, the returned value in this case is simply a single patch handle rather than hundreds or thousands of separate data-point handles. If you don't need to customize specific data points then this issue doesn't really matter; but if you do need this ability, you need to use the obsolete 'v6' option.

Interesting. I use scatter with thousands of points all the time. Perhaps I am misusing it then? I don’t really need the ability to access each data marker but scatter is just an easy function to work with.
