matplotlib.markers

This module contains functions to handle markers. Used by both the marker functionality of plot and scatter.

All possible markers are defined here:

The marker can also be a tuple (numsides, style, angle), which will create a custom, regular symbol.

numsides:

the number of sides

style:

the style of the regular symbol:

Value	Description
0	a regular polygon
1	a star-like symbol
2	an asterisk
3	a circle (numsides and angle is ignored)

angle:

the angle of rotation of the symbol, in degrees

For backward compatibility, the form (verts, 0) is also accepted, but it is equivalent to just verts for giving a raw set of vertices that define the shape.
