In the matlab code below, I have scattered points. How can i choose different scatterd fonts like * and + and set the color of theses scattered points.
    x=[0.8,1.3,2.2,2.9,3.6];
    y1=[17.22,18.9,19.74756674,21.64790459,22.77216041];
    y2=[0.07,0.11,0.163,0.27,0.29];
    [ax, h1, h2] = plotyy(x,y1,Ax,y2,'scatter');
    line(x,y1,'Parent',ax(1))
    line(x,y2,'Parent',ax(2) )
    set(ax(1),'ycolor','r') 
    set(ax(2),'ycolor','b')
Thank you very much!

        Those simple circles are patch objects. (There is a lot to read about patches in the documentation.)
Try
    ch1 = get( h1, 'children' )
    set( ch1, 'MarkerEdgeColor', [1,0,0] )

			Execute these two lines after your script. One series of circles will turn red. That is an answer to "set the color of theses scattered points.".
Secondly, I invited you to search the documentation on patch and find out how to change the shape of the "markers".
