Julia Marker Width or Weight

Question

Julia 1.5

Plots.jl

Default backend - I haven't changed the backend so it should be GKS, right?

I've got the idea of marker size down, color, and opacity down. I'm trying to change the weight of the individual markers. I'm using the :x symbol. I want to make it appear bold.

AFAIK, there is no built-in default for doing that, but you can make your own marker shape and then modify its thickness yourself, e.g., with

rotate90((x, y)) = (-y, x) # function to rotate a tuple by 90 degrees
function mymarker(t=0.1) # t = relative thickness (default 0.1)
    tip0 = (1.0, 1.0)
    tips = [tip0, rotate90(tip0), -1 .* tip0, -1 .* rotate90(tip0)]
    out = reduce(vcat, [tip .- t .* rotate90(tip), tip .+ t .* rotate90(tip), t .* tip .+ t .* rotate90(tip)] for tip in tips)
    push!(out, out[1])
end

and then chose the relative thickness t and do something like,

plot(your_data..., marker = (Shape(mymarker(t)), 30, RGBA(0, 0, 0, 0.2)))
