color of line plot with marker problem

I want to draw a line plot with color, and find the solution here:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_plots/create-line-plot-with-markers.html

the problem is that, it can only control the color of the marker, not the line. I tried to improve the command from:

x = linspace(0,10,50);
y = sin(x);
plot(x,y,'-s','MarkerSize',10,...
    'MarkerEdgeColor','red',...
    'MarkerFaceColor',[1 .6 .6])

to:

x = linspace(0,10,50);
y = sin(x);
plot(x,y,'r','-s','MarkerSize',10,...
    'MarkerEdgeColor','red',...
    'MarkerFaceColor',[1 .6 .6])

Matlab reports error.

is there anyway to control the color of both the line and marker together?

Thanks!

The color of the line is controlled by the 'color' parameter.

x = linspace(0,10,50);
y = sin(x);
plot(x,y,'-s','MarkerSize',10,...
    'MarkerEdgeColor','red',...
    'MarkerFaceColor',[1 .6 .6], 'color' 'r')   % 'color' added

You can set the line color after you plot it.

x = linspace(0,10,50);

y = sin(x);

h = plot(x,y,'-s','MarkerSize',10,...

'MarkerEdgeColor','red',...

'MarkerFaceColor',[1 .6 .6])

set(h,'Color','g');

Thank you very much, your answer also works.

There are a couple of ways to solve this (I am using R2018b):

plot(x,y,'-s','MarkerSize',10,'Color','red',...
'MarkerEdgeColor','red',...
'MarkerFaceColor',[1 .6 .6])

Or if you prefer you can:

myhandle = plot(x,y)

And then use the myhandle to change the properties accordingly.
