Marker Color

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

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

Primary and secondary marker color 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 color is set to the line color, so if the line color is changed the pentagon outline will change accordingly, but the filled pentagon will remain yellow.
