"""
================
Marker reference
================

Matplotlib supports multiple categories of markers which are selected using
the ``marker`` parameter of plot commands:

- `Unfilled markers`_
- `Filled markers`_
- `Markers created from TeX symbols`_
- `Markers created from Paths`_

For a list of all markers see also the `matplotlib.markers` documentation.

For example usages see
:doc:`/gallery/lines_bars_and_markers/scatter_star_poly`.
