Looks good to me, thank you for the contribution!

However, I don't have access to Matlab any longer, so I can't test it. Let's see if @mikelgg93 wants to have a look as well.

I would love to test it, but unfortunately, I no longer have access to Matlab either.
One thing before merging, what happens to the median dot size? If I recall it properly, the marker size argument was also used for that, and I did not change it.
Would you mind running the test script and posting the resulting figure here? If the results are okay, I do not have anything against it.
Thanks for contributing!

Hi there,
thanks for your responses!

Sure, here are two figures showing the plots of the test script before and after the commit.

Before:

After:

And you are correct @mikelgg93, the MarkerSize property affects both, the data dots and the median indicator. I quickly added a new property MedianMarkerSize, so one could set the size of both, the data and the median dots, independently. Defaults are 24 for data dots, and 36 for the median (as previous).

Example from the test script:
violinplot({thisData,repmat(thisData(:,5),1,7)}, catnames_labels, 'ViolinColor', {C,C(5,:)}, 'ViolinAlpha', {0.3 0.3}, 'ShowMean', true, 'MarkerSize', 8, 'MedianMarkerSIze', 80);

I guess I cannot add that commit to this pull request? should I open another one?

Thank you for your contribution!

If you want to make some more changes, feel free to open another pull request.

Hi there,

ah ok, somehow the "MedianMarkerSize" commit was added to this pull request yesterday, without me being aware of it... don't understand why, because I only pushed it to my personal forked repository.

But then I don't have anything to pull anymore.

Great!

But that's exactly how pull requests work: You publish a branch in your fork to the main repo. Any change you make to your branch are automatically part of the pull request. So everything worked out!

thanks for the clarification! so I guess changes I commit to my fork which are not supposed to be merged into your repo, should be done in a separate branch.

exactly!
