In this section, we extend the use of user styles introduced in the earlier recipe Styling your curves to defining user styles for markers for use with the linespoints
type of plots introduced in the previous recipe.
There are some more style choices that can be made part of the user-defined linestyles when you are plotting using the linespoints
style, which draws a series of markers, or "points", along the line. This works best with solid lines, as shown in the figure following the commands:
