I have two curves stored in the workspace. I use exactly the same commands to plot them:

          newred =     [0.8500    0.3250    0.0980];
          subplot(1,2,1)
          plot(gridd(1:ind), likk(1:ind),'color', newred, 'linewidth', 3)
          subplot(1,2,2)
          plot(x, approx,'color', newred, 'linewidth', 3)

the result is the following (9.1.0.441655 (R2016b))

They look different. This also happen with any other color that I choose. There will be difference in color between the two and the second will have the tiny white spots on the line.

What am i missing here?

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

It appears to be caused by anti-aliasing.

set(gcf,'GraphicsSmoothing','off')

and the problem will go away (but the line will not be as smooth.)

I just filed a bug report about this

Thank you for filing the bug report.

As a workaround, it may help to increase the line width a bit. I was able to get rid of the white artifacts by setting the line width to 6, but it may be dependent on the resolution of your display.

You already know the reason! It is due to the number of dots plotted.

Each dot has a white center, a lower case o. Only the perimeter of the dot has any color. If you have only a few dots, then you see the white centers. If there are so many dots that they overlap and cover the centers of the neighboring dots, then all you see is red.

If you mi white and red, the color appears a bit washed out. So the sparse line tends to look a bit closer to a pastel.

The arrays in the .mat file are not in fact what you plotted. Different variable names. In fact, the curves are not exactly what you show in the plot you posted.

When I try to plot the two curves in the .mat file, in fact, I see no difference in color, but that is also in the current MATLAB release.

So you can claim what you wish, but I've seen far too often that people make claims about what they think they did and what they really did.
