<p>Functions to handle markers; used by the marker functionality of
<td>An asterisk with <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">numsides</span></code> sides,
rotated by <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">angle</span></code>.</td>
</tr>

</table>
<p><codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">None</span></code> is the default which means 'nothing', however this table is
referred to from other docs for the valid inputs from marker inputs and in
those cases <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">None</span></code> still means 'default'.</p>
<p>Note that special symbols can be defined via the
<aclass="reference internal" href="../tutorials/text/mathtext.html"><spanclass="doc">STIX math font</span></a>,
e.g. <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">"$\u266B$"</span></code>. For an overview over the STIX font symbols refer to the
<aclass="reference external" href="http://www.stixfonts.org/allGlyphs.html">STIX font table</a>.
Also see the <aclass="reference internal" href="../gallery/text_labels_and_annotations/stix_fonts_demo.html"><spanclass="doc">STIX Fonts Demo</span></a>.</p>
<p>Integer numbers from <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">0</span></code> to <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">11</span></code> create lines and triangles. Those are
equally accessible via capitalized variables, like <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">CARETDOWNBASE</span></code>.
