PlotMarkers
is an option for graphics functions like ListPlot and ListLinePlot that specifies what markers to draw at the points plotted.
Details

- The following settings can be used:
-
None no markers Automatic standard sequence of markers {Automatic,s} standard sequence of markers with size s g markers consisting of copies of expression g {g,s} expression g at size s {g1,g2,…} expression gi for dataset i {{g1,s1},{g2,s2},…} expressions gi at sizes si "OpenMarkers" predefined open markers - Possible values for the size s are:
-
Scaled[s] a fraction s of the enclosing region Offset[d] d printer's points Tiny,Small,Medium,Large predefined sizes - PlotMarkers->Automatic uses a predefined standard sequence of markers for successive lists of points.
- With PlotMarkers->g, a copy of the graphic or other expression g is placed so that its alignment point lies at the position of the point it indicates.
- With PlotMarkers->{g1,…,gn}, the gi are used cyclically for successive dataset lists.
