There are multiple types of Scatter Symbols available in the matplotlib package and can be accessed through the command marker. In this article, we will show some examples of different marker types and also present a list containing all the markers as defined by matplotlib.

Available Markers:

markers = {'.': 'point', ',': 'pixel', 'o': 'circle', 'v': 'triangle_down', 
'^': 'triangle_up', '<': 'triangle_left', '>': 'triangle_right', 
'1': 'tri_down', '2': 'tri_up', '3': 'tri_left', '4': 'tri_right', 
'8': 'octagon', 's': 'square', 'p': 'pentagon', '*': 'star', 
'h': 'hexagon1', 'H': 'hexagon2', '+': 'plus', 'x': 'x', 
'D': 'diamond', 'd': 'thin_diamond', '|': 'vline', '_': 'hline', 
'P': 'plus_filled', 'X': 'x_filled', 0: 'tickleft', 1: 'tickright', 
2: 'tickup', 3: 'tickdown', 4: 'caretleft', 5: 'caretright', 
6: 'caretup', 7: 'caretdown', 8: 'caretleftbase', 9: 'caretrightbase', 
10: 'caretupbase', 11: 'caretdownbase', 
'None': 'nothing', None: 'nothing', ' ': 'nothing', '': 'nothing'}

Python code for scatter symbol

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.arange(0.0, 50.0, 2.0)
y = x ** 1.3 + np.random.rand(*x.shape) * 30.0
s = np.random.rand(*x.shape) * 300 + 500

plt.figure()
plt.scatter(x, y, s, c="y", alpha=0.7, marker='X',
            label="Gold Mark")
plt.xlabel("Years")
plt.ylabel("Gold")
plt.title('Scatter Plot: Marker')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

plt.figure()
plt.scatter(x, y, s, c="b", alpha=0.5, marker='<',
            label="Gold Mark")
plt.xlabel("Years")
plt.ylabel("Gold")
plt.title('Scatter Plot: Marker')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

plt.figure()
plt.scatter(x, y, s, c="g", alpha=0.5, marker='^',
            label="Gold Mark")
plt.xlabel("Years")
plt.ylabel("Gold")
plt.title('Scatter Plot: Marker')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

plt.figure()
plt.scatter(x, y, s, c="r", alpha=0.5, marker='8',
            label="Gold Mark")
plt.xlabel("Years")
plt.ylabel("Gold")
plt.title('Scatter Plot: Marker')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

plt.figure()
plt.scatter(x, y, s, c="g", alpha=0.5, marker='p',
            label="Gold Mark")
plt.xlabel("Years")
plt.ylabel("Gold")
plt.title('Scatter Plot: Marker')
plt.legend()
plt.show()
