ExtentMarkers

is an option to DiscretePlot and DiscretePlot3D that specifies markers to draw at extent boundaries.
Details

- The following general settings can be used:
-
None no markers {ml,mr} specify left and right markers {specx,specy} use different specifications in different dimensions - The edge markers in one dimension represent a point and edge markers in two dimensions represent a line.
- In one dimension the following additional settings can be used:
-
"Empty" empty disk edge marker "Filled" filled disk edge marker g general expression g {spec,s} edge marker with size s - In two dimensions the following additional settings can be used:
-
"Line" line edge marker "Tube" tube edge marker {spec,s} edge marker with size s - The symbolic values Tiny, Small, Medium, and Large can be used for s. In one dimension, the size of the marker is independent of the total width of the graphic.
