Python code for markers edge styles in matplotlib

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.arange(25)
y = np.random.randint(1,15,25)

plt.figure()
plt.plot(x, y, 'o', markersize=10, markerfacecolor='yellow', 
         markeredgecolor='purple', markeredgewidth=2.0, alpha=0.9)
plt.title('Marker Edge Style')
