It seems that there are only five line-styles:
“-” (solid) – default
“–” (dashed)
“-.” (dash dot)
“:” (dotted)
“None” or " " or “” (nothing)
What if I want to have more linestyles? Say, ++, **, xx, ~~, etc. Is it possible to have user-defined linestyles? How?
User-defined line styles is difficult. There is an open github issue
on this topic: markers as linestyles · Issue #346 · matplotlib/matplotlib · GitHub
Though, porting some of the existing markers over as linestyles would
be a nice addition, I think.

Can we use the markers as alternatives for linestyles?
Consider the following in sage:
Suppose I have defined f(x) for a range already, say by the following:
x = np.arange(0,1,0.001)
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot(x,f(x), color=‘magenta’, linestyle=‘–’, linewidth=4, label=“f(x)”)
I want to know the equivalent syntax for ‘++’ marker for the same plot of f(x) against (x).
