PR Summary

"Create multiple scatter plots with different star symbols." seems not super-useful as an example. Additionally, it did not really do that. This is essentially a completely new example:

  • Reframed to showing the use of different types of markers.
  • Crosslinked to other marker docs.
  • Changed layout of the plot.
  • pyplot -> OO
  • Exchanged one marker to get the TeX marker in.

I'm not a big fan of this title: it doesn't summarizes what the example showcases in particular compared to all of the other examples on markers.

I agree that it's not very instructive. But I didn't find a better name. OTOH, the example itself doesn't add much compared to the maker reference and module docs. I was about to delete it but decided to keep it as a usage example.

If you can think of a better name, proposals are always welcome.

I'd be in favor of removing it :)
