Set scatter plot color with RGB

Hi!

I've got a question concerning my scatter plot.

I would like to set the color of the hexagons ('h') with a RGB triplet.

I tried with the help MATLAB gives under scatter with the following code:

scatter(xM14s,yM14s,125,'h','MarkerEdgeColor',[1 1 1], 'linewidth',2)

However this gives an error:

h(n) = matlab.graphics.chart.primitive.Scatter('Parent', parax, ...

which I don't understand.

In the same diagram I have:

lsline
h = lsline;
set(h(1),'color',[0.5 0.5 0.5],'linewidth',1)

Does this have to do with the error? When I remove the scatter plot and leave the lsline, the error however goes away.

Thanks!

Your code looks fine. But, bear in mind that your defined color for the marker edges is white: [1 1 1]. So, the markers will be invisible (assuming your background is the default white).

Yes, i have tried with other Colors aswell. The problem is it gives me an error and no plot...

x = rand(100,1);

y = rand(100,1);
MarkerColor = [0.5, 0.5, 0.5];
scatter(x, y, 40, MarkerColor, 'filled');
grid on;

I don't know what you mean by hexagons but to see the 3-D scatterplot of the RGB gamut, use colorcloud().

rgbImage = imread('peppers.png');
colorcloud(rgbImage);

[Sean Bredella]

just scatter(x,y,colorcloud([1 0.4 0.5])) as an example?

[Image Analyst]

No. colorcloud() does the scatterplot itself.

rgbImage = imread('peppers.png');
colorcloud(rgbImage);

Thank you ver much for the effort.

But i have a 2D scatter plot and i want a specific color i made with an RGB Vector...
