How to combine a marker to a line and show in legend?

How do I combine the markers and line plot for the case below? Example : Magenta arteisk on the green line to be shown in the legend and subsequently.

data = xlsread("diametercyclic1.xlsx") ; 
%K = data(1,[1 3 5 7]) ;   % factors 
%data(1,:) = []; 
s1 = data(1:132,1) ; f1 = data(1:132,2) ;  
s2 = data(1:38,3) ; f2 = data(1:38,4) ; 
s3 = data(1:12,5) ; f3 = data(1:12,6) ; 
s4 = data(1:14,7) ; f4 = data(1:14,8) ;
%s5 = data(1:18,9) ; f5 = data(1:18,10) ;

theta_max = 2* pi ;
theta_min = 0 ;
theta_4 = linspace(theta_min, theta_max,132)' ;
N_terp = 1024;
theta_2 = linspace(theta_min,theta_max,N_terp)' ;
X_terp1 = spline (theta_4, s1, theta_2);

Hi,

This can be achieved by drawing a plot with no data (nan) with the desired line and marker attributes. This way the plot won't be visible (due to nan) but the plot handle can be added to legend.

In your code, instead of adding p1 to the legend, you can create a new plot 'ph1' and add it to the legend.

ph1 = plot(nan, nan, 'r-x', 'MarkerEdgeColor', 'b', 'DisplayName','d=4.5mm');

Similarly, you can add plots with nan data and desired line & marker attributes for other plot handles as well. Hope this helps.

Thanks.It worked.
