Hello Elizabeth,
The issue you are encountering with MATLAB R2014b likely stems from changes in the graphics system introduced in this version. R2014b marked a significant update to MATLAB's graphics system, transitioning to the new "HG2" graphics engine, which may have introduced some unexpected behavior in the property editor, especially when handling line styles and markers.
Here are a few steps and suggestions to address the issue:
- Ensure you have installed the latest updates or patches for MATLAB R2014b.
- As a workaround, you can manually change the line style and markers through the command line. For example, if you have a handle to a plot line:
h = findobj(gca, 'Type', 'line'); % Find all line objects in the current axes
% Loop through each line and set properties
for i = 1:length(h)
set(h(i), 'LineStyle', '--'); % Change line style to dashed
set(h(i), 'Marker', 'o'); % Change marker to circle
end
- If you need to modify specific lines and you know their properties (e.g., color, line width), you can use findobj to identify them:
h = findobj(gca, 'Type', 'line', 'Color', [1 0 0]); % Find red lines
set(h, 'LineStyle', '--', 'Marker', 'o'); % Apply changes
- Ensure there are no callbacks or listeners that reset properties when the figure is updated.
- Try using the plottools command to open a more comprehensive graphical interface for editing plot properties:
plottools;
- If you have customized graphics settings, try resetting them to default:
set(0, 'DefaultLineLineStyle', '-'); % Reset default line style
set(0, 'DefaultLineMarker', 'none'); % Reset default marker
I hope this helps!
