How can I change the last marker of a line to a different style?

I have a plot where I want to change the last data point to a different marker style and marker size. In the plot below, I want the first 6 markers to be '*', and the last marker to be 'x'.

x = [0 7500 15000 22500 30000 36215 42433];

y = [114.8 112.4 105.5 103.4 103.6 101.9 91.8];

plot(x,y,'-*')

xlim([0 45000])

ylim([80 125])

xlabel('x')

ylabel('y')

grid on

x = [0 7500 15000 22500 30000 36215 42433];
y = [114.8 112.4 105.5 103.4 103.6 101.9 91.8];
plot(x,y,'-o','MarkerIndices',1:6)
hold on
plot(x,y,'-x','MarkerIndices',7)
xlim([0 45000])
ylim([80 125])
xlabel('x')
ylabel('y')
grid on

@Arif Hoq This is much better than what I suggested! Cheers!

x = [0 7500 15000 22500 30000 36215 42433];
y = [114.8 112.4 105.5 103.4 103.6 101.9 91.8];
plot(x(1:end-1),y(1:end-1),'-b*',x(end-1:end),y(end-1:end),'-b')
hold on
plot(x(end),y(end),'-bx','MarkerSize',12)
xlim([0 45000])
ylim([80 125])
xlabel('x')
ylabel('y')
grid on

@Davide Masiello @Arif Hoq Thank you for the quick replies!

I have a follow up question. This solution works for adding the "x" at the bottom, but it creates 2 series for each set of data. Since each pair of series refers to the same data, how can I ignore the 2nd and 4th entry when creating the legend?

[Steve Tavoletti]

I ended up changing the order I plot them in and turned the legend autoupdate off.

Good job
