can we set markerspacing?

Can we set the markerspacing in mpl?

If I do

plot( linspace(0,10,100), ‘o’ )

I get 100 markers. What if I want to plot every tenth marker? Or better even, what if I want to have a certain spacing between markers.

I know how to work around this, of course (just plot every tenth point), but I was looking for a keyword argument or so. I thought that would exist and be useful.

Sorry to flood the list with questions this week.

You can try the following approach: First plot the line and then plot the markers separately (and set colors).

x = linspace(0,10,100)
y = x
plot(x, y, '-')
plot(x[::10], y[::10], linestyle='', marker='o')
