Marker Colour

If the Colour As Path box is checked, the marker will have the same colour as the . If you want the marker to have a specific colour, you should check the Specific Colour box, which will enable the colour panel. Note that if the marker has been assigned a specific colour, it will remain unchanged if you change the line colour of the path, otherwise it will change with the path. For example, Figure 9.12 shows a path with a transparent line colour and blue start, mid and end markers.

Figure 9.12: Marker colour may be independent of the line colour: this path has a transparent line colour and blue start, mid and end markers.

Primary and secondary marker colour settings are independent of each other. For example, in Figure 9.13 the start and end markers are composite markers formed from a filled yellow pentagon primary marker and an open pentagon secondary marker. The secondary marker colour is set to the line colour, so if the line colour is changed the pentagon outline will change accordingly, but the filled pentagon will remain yellow.
