Unwanted marker in logarithmic boxchart

Hello

When I use logarithmic scale for the y-axis of my box plot, a marker appears at the right-bottom corner of the axes. Here's a mininmal code to reproduce the behavior:

x = categorical(1:5);
y = rand(1, 5);
figure;
boxchart(x, y)
set(gca, 'YScale', 'log')

The result is the following:

My question is how to get rid of the unwanted marker.

Behnam,

The Dev team is currently working on this issue. A workaround for now is to use boxplot instead.

x = 1:5;
y = rand(1, 5);
figure;
boxplot(x, y)
xticklabels({'1','2','3','4','5'})
set(gca, 'YScale', 'log')

Thank you for the answer. I use boxchart because it can conveniently handle data categories. One option for my publishing purpose is to use a vector graphics editior (e.g., Inkscape) to remove the marker. If there is a workaround within MATLAB to remove this marker, that would be much better.

Behnam,

Here is a workaround:

x = categorical(1:5);
y = rand(1, 5);
figure;
boxchart(x, y)
set(gca, 'YScale', 'log')
handle = gca;
handle.Children.MarkerStyle = 'none';

Or Alternatively,

boxchart(x, y,'MarkerStyle','none')
set(gca, 'YScale', 'log')
