### Custom Marker Symbols

The `marker_symbol` attribute allows you to choose from a wide array of symbols to represent markers in your figures.

The basic symbols are: `circle`, `square`, `diamond`, `cross`, `x`, `triangle`, `pentagon`, `hexagram`, `star`, `diamond`, `hourglass`, `bowtie`, `asterisk`, `hash`, `y`, and `line`.

Each basic symbol is also represented by a number. Adding 100 to that number is equivalent to appending the suffix "-open" to a symbol name. Adding 200 is equivalent to appending "-dot" to a symbol name. Adding 300 is equivalent to appending "-open-dot" or "dot-open" to a symbol name.

In the following figures, hover over a symbol to see its name or number. Set the `marker_symbol` attribute equal to that name or number to change the marker symbol in your figure.

#### Basic Symbols

```python
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure()

fig.update_layout(title="Basic Symbols")

fig.update_xaxes(showticklabels=False)
fig.update_yaxes(showticklabels=False)

for index in range(27):
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[(index % 6)], y=[index // 6], name="",
marker_symbol=index, marker_color='black',
marker_size=10, showlegend=False, mode="markers+text",
textposition="middle right", text=f'<b>{index}</b>',
hovertemplate=f'<b>Symbol Number: {index}</b>'))

fig.show()
```

### Custom Marker Symbols

The `marker_symbol` attribute allows you to choose from a wide array of symbols to represent markers in your figures.

The basic symbols are: `circle`, `square`, `diamond`, `cross`, `x`, `triangle`, `pentagon`, `hexagram`, `star`, `diamond`, `hourglass`, `bowtie`, `asterisk`, `hash`, `y`, and `line`. 

Each basic symbol is also represented by a number. Adding 100 to that number is equivalent to appending the suffix "-open" to a symbol name. Adding 200 is equivalent to appending "-dot" to a symbol name. Adding 300 is equivalent to appending "-open-dot" or "dot-open" to a symbol name.

In the following figures, hover over a symbol to see its name or number. Set the `marker_symbol` attribute equal to that name or number to change the marker symbol in your figure.

### Custom Marker Symbols

The `marker_symbol` attribute allows you to choose from a wide array of symbols to represent markers in your figures.

The basic symbols are: `circle`, `square`, `diamond`, `cross`, `x`, `triangle`, `pentagon`, `hexagram`, `star`, `diamond`, `hourglass`, `bowtie`, `asterisk`, `hash`, `y`, and `line`. 

Each basic symbol is also represented by a number. Adding 100 to that number is equivalent to appending the suffix "-open" to a symbol name. Adding 200 is equivalent to appending "-dot" to a symbol name. Adding 300 is equivalent to appending "-open-dot" or "dot-open" to a symbol name.

In the following figures, hover over a symbol to see its name or number. Set the `marker_symbol` attribute equal to that name or number to change the marker symbol in your figure.

#### Basic Symbols

```python
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure()

fig.update_layout(title="Basic Symbols")

fig.update_xaxes(showticklabels=False)
fig.update_yaxes(showticklabels=False)

for index in range(27):
 fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[(index % 6)], y=[index // 6], name="",
 marker_symbol=index, marker_color='black', 
 marker_size=10, showlegend=False, mode="markers+text",
 textposition="middle right", text=f'<b>{index}</b>',
 hovertemplate=f'<b>Symbol Number: {index}</b>'))

fig.show() 
```

### Custom Marker Symbols

The `marker_symbol` attribute allows you to choose from a wide array of symbols to represent markers in your figures.

The basic symbols are: `circle`, `square`, `diamond`, `cross`, `x`, `triangle`, `pentagon`, `hexagram`, `star`, `diamond`, `hourglass`, `bowtie`, `asterisk`, `hash`, `y`, and `line`. 

Each basic symbol is also represented by a number. Adding 100 to that number is equivalent to appending the suffix "-open" to a symbol name. Adding 200 is equivalent to appending "-dot" to a symbol name. Adding 300 is equivalent to appending "-open-dot" or "dot-open" to a symbol name.

In the following figures, hover over a symbol to see its name or number. Set the `marker_symbol` attribute equal to that name or number to change the marker symbol in your figure.

#### Basic Symbols

```python
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure()

fig.update_layout(title="Basic Symbols")

fig.update_xaxes(showticklabels=False)
fig.update_yaxes(showticklabels=False)

for index in range(27):
 fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[(index % 6)], y=[index // 6], name="",
 marker_symbol=index, marker_color='black', 
 marker_size=10, showlegend=False, mode="markers+text",
 textposition="middle right", text=f'<b>{index}</b>',
 hovertemplate=f'<b>Symbol Number: {index}</b>'))

fig.show() 
```

### Custom Marker Symbols

The `marker_symbol` attribute allows you to choose from a wide array of symbols to represent markers in your figures.

The basic symbols are: `circle`, `square`, `diamond`, `cross`, `x`, `triangle`, `pentagon`, `hexagram`, `star`, `diamond`, `hourglass`, `bowtie`, `asterisk`, `hash`, `y`, and `line`. 

Each basic symbol is also represented by a number. Adding 100 to that number is equivalent to appending the suffix "-open" to a symbol name. Adding 200 is equivalent to appending "-dot" to a symbol name. Adding 300 is equivalent to appending "-open-dot" or "dot-open" to a symbol name.

In the following figures, hover over a symbol to see its name or number. Set the `marker_symbol` attribute equal to that name or number to change the marker symbol in your figure.

#### Basic Symbols

```python
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure()

fig.update_layout(title="Basic Symbols")

fig.update_xaxes(showticklabels=False)
fig.update_yaxes(showticklabels=False)

for index in range(27):
 fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[(index % 6)], y=[index // 6], name="",
 marker_symbol=index, marker_color='black', 
 marker_size=10, showlegend=False, mode="markers+text",
 textposition="middle right", text=f'<b>{index}</b>',
 hovertemplate=f'<b>Symbol Number: {index}</b>'))

fig.show() 
```
