Markers are extremely useful to make your plots cleaner.
Using Matplotlib markers you can add markers when you do a line plot.
Here is the code
# To plot
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# We setup our canvas
fig, axes = plt.subplots(1,1, figsize=(8,4))
# we plot
axes.plot(range(0,10),
marker = 'o') # Here you can change the type of marker you want
plt.show()
Here is the result
Here you are! You now know how to add markers to a Matplotlib plot using Python.
