Hi Ben,

Thanks. I actually tried this before and it didn't appear to work for me.
But I think the problem was that I thought s was the radius in units of my
axes, and so was simply not seeing the dot on top of the line that was
already there. I was just choosing values that were way too small to see.

This should meet my needs.

I wonder if you would mind expanding on that sentence? Does the example I

Phil, thanks for this example as well. It also would work for my purposes.
All I meant by that sentence is that, in my real script, I am plotting a
bunch of lines as well, and I just wanted these circles to also be present
in the plot (the example code I attached was simply the circles/ellipses).


Best,
Brad
