Description

    showmarkers allows you to create a graph varying attributes of the
    markers, for example choosing over(msymbol) would show you the different
    possible symbols, or over(mcolor) would show the different possible
    colors.  Each symbol is shown with a label next to it showing the value
    which produced that symbol.
