Matplotlib 3.0 Cookbook

How to do it...

Here is the code that plots the sine curve for each of the markers:

1. Define the data for plotting a sine curve:

x = np.arange(1, 2.6, 0.1) y = np.sin(2 * np.pi * x)

2. Define the figure and size:

plt.subplots(figsize=(10,8))

3. Define the list of custom markers:

custom_markers = ['$'+x+'$' for x in                  ['£','\$','\%','\clubsuit','\diamondsuit',                  '\spadesuit','\heartsuit','\sigma', '" />']]

4. Plot the sine curve for each of the markers:

for i,marker in enumerate(custom_markers):    plt.plot(x, 2*(i+2)*y, marker=marker, markersize=15) 

5. Display the figure on the screen:

plt.show()
