small" or "much too big." Nothing I tried from the table on this page<br>

was in the Goldilocks zone. :-)<br>
<br>
This example:<br>

<a href="http://matplotlib.org/examples/lines_bars_and_markers/marker_reference.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://matplotlib.org/<wbr>examples/lines_bars_and_<wbr>markers/marker_reference.html</a><br>
<br>
suggests the "." marker should be more reasonably sized, but it's<br>
still pretty darn big. By my crude estimates, the comma marker is a<br>
single pixel, while the dot marker is a circle with diameter five<br>
pixels. Am I missing something predefined which has a size in between<br>
the comma and dot markers, maybe just a square marker with side length<br>
two pixels?<br>
<br>
I see that you can create custom markers. I suspect this will work<br>
(though be a bit clunky). I'm not finding many examples, however, so<br>
far just this marker_path example:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/marker_path.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://matplotlib.org/<wbr>examples/pylab_examples/<wbr>marker_path.html</a><br>
<br>
The target is a command line plotting tool, so I'll probably have to<br>
provide a way for users to map between marker characters and pickled<br>
markers.<br>
