Marker Attributes class.
 
This class is used (in general by secondary inheritance)
by many other classes (graphics, histograms). It holds all the markers
attributes.
 
## Marker attributes
The marker attributes are:
 
  - [Marker color](\ref ATTMARKER1)
  - [Marker style](\ref ATTMARKER2)
    - [Marker line width](\ref ATTMARKER21)
  - [Marker size](\ref M3)
 
\anchor ATTMARKER1
## Marker color
The marker color is a color index (integer) pointing in the ROOT color
table.
The marker color of any class inheriting from `TAttMarker` can
be changed using the method `SetMarkerColor` and retrieved using the
method `GetMarkerColor`.
The following table shows the first 50 default colors.
 
Begin_Macro
{
   TCanvas *c = new TCanvas("c","Fill Area colors",0,0,500,200);
   c->DrawColorTable();
   return c;
}
End_Macro
 
### Color transparency
 
`SetMarkerColorAlpha()`, allows to set a transparent color.
In the following example the marker color of the histogram `histo`
is set to blue with an opacity of 35% (i.e. a transparency of 65%).
(The color `kBlue` itself is internally stored as fully opaque.)
 
~~~ {.cpp}
histo->SetMarkerColorAlpha(kBlue, 0.35);
~~~
 
The transparency is available on all platforms when the flag `OpenGL.CanvasPreferGL` is set to `1`
in `$ROOTSYS/etc/system.rootrc`, or on Mac with the Cocoa backend. On the file output
it is visible with PDF, PNG, Gif, JPEG, SVG, TeX ... but not PostScript.
 
Alternatively, you can call at the top of your script `gSytle->SetCanvasPreferGL();`.
Or if you prefer to activate GL for a single canvas `c`, then use `c->SetSupportGL(true);`.
 
\anchor ATTMARKER2
## Marker style
 
The Marker style defines the markers' shape.
The marker style of any class inheriting from `TAttMarker` can
be changed using the method `SetMarkerStyle` and retrieved using the
method `GetMarkerStyle`.
 
The following list gives the currently supported markers (screen
and PostScript) style. Each marker style is identified by an integer number
(first column) corresponding to a marker shape (second column) and can be also
accessed via a global name (third column).
 
~~~ {.cpp}

### Marker line width
 
The line width of a marker is not actually a marker attribute since it does
only apply to open marker symbols and marker symbols consisting of lines. All
of these marker symbols are redefined with thicker lines by style numbers
starting from 50:
 
~~~ {.cpp}
   Marker numbers   Line width
      50 -  67         2
      68 -  85         3
      86 - 103         4
     104 - 121         5
   ...
~~~
 
Begin_Macro
{
   TCanvas *c = new TCanvas("c","Marker line widths",0,0,600,266);
   TMarker marker;
   marker.DisplayMarkerLineWidths();
}
End_Macro
 
\anchor M3
## Marker size
 
Various marker sizes are shown in the figure below. The default marker size=1
is shown in the top left corner. Marker sizes smaller than 1 can be
specified. The marker size does not refer to any coordinate systems, it is an
absolute value. Therefore the marker size is not affected by any change
in TPad's scale. A marker size equal to 1 correspond to 8 pixels.
That is, a square marker with size 1 will be drawn with a side equal to 8
pixels on the screen.
 
The marker size of any class inheriting from `TAttMarker` can
be changed using the method `SetMarkerSize` and retrieved using the
method `GetMarkerSize`.
 
Begin_Macro
{
   c = new TCanvas("c","Marker sizes",0,0,500,200);
   TMarker marker;
   marker.SetMarkerStyle(3);
   Double_t x = 0;
   Double_t dx = 1/6.0;
   for (Int_t i=1; i<6; i++) {
      x += dx;
      marker.SetMarkerSize(i*0.2); marker.DrawMarker(x,.165);
      marker.SetMarkerSize(i*0.8); marker.DrawMarker(x,.495);
      marker.SetMarkerSize(i*1.0); marker.DrawMarker(x,.835);
   }
}
End_Macro
 
Note that the marker styles number 1 6 and 7 (the dots), cannot be scaled. They
are meant to be very fast to draw and are always drawn with the same number of
pixels; therefore `SetMarkerSize` does not apply on them. To have a
"scalable dot" a filled circle should be used instead, i.e. the marker style
number 20. By default (if `SetMarkerStyle` is not specified), the marker
style used is 1. That's the most common one to draw scatter plots.
