How to plot trajectory like this?

hello all! I want to plot a trajectory with custom marker such as ships, but i don't know how to plot this.

I would appreciate if you can give me some advices!

What would be perfect for your situation is to have instead of (for example) a dash-dotted line a dash-dash-dash-ship line, i.e. custom line-type or marker-type.

This link is very old (2012), so things might have changed: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/32985-can-i-make-a-scatterplot-with-custom-marker-symbols

Conclusion was: it is NOT possible to specify custom markers. But there might be (very tedious) workarounds.

There are still no custom markers.

Thanks! i know there not exist the custom marker.Actually i want to get the trajectory exists ship. I saw some method can plot like this(another graph) by using some complex and tedious code.I would like to know if there exists some sample methods... Thanks!!

@Eric: It is more efficient, if you post all required details, than if we guess them. Do you have the image of the ship available already? Do you need the red squares and blue dots or not?

FEX: Flappybird contains some code to animate sprites using surface objects, such that rotating is easy.
