looks like polar is limited compared to plot.

plot([0 1],[0 1],'marker','o','markersize',1) % OK

polar([0 1],[0 1],'marker','o','markersize',1)
% error: Invalid call to polar.  Correct usage is: -- Function File:
polar (THETA, RHO, FMT)

You can do this to get around it

h=polar([0 1],[0 1],'o');
set(h,'markersize',1)
