    <p>Use the <b>markerPoints</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> to create a small shape to mark the <glossary tag="vertex">vertexes</glossary> of a <keyword tag="graphic">graphic</keyword>.</p><p/><p><b>Value:</b></p><p>The <b>markerPoints</b> of a <keyword tag="graphic">graphic</keyword> is a list of <property tag="points">points</property> (two <glossary tag="integer">integers</glossary> separated by a comma), one per <keyword tag="line">line</keyword>.</p><p/><p>By default, the <b>markerPoints</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> of newly created <glossary tag="graphic">graphics</glossary> is set to empty.</p><p/><p><b>Comments:</b></p><p>Curve and irregular polygon graphics can be drawn with a marker at each vertex. The marker itself is in the shape of a polygon, and the <b>markerPoints</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> specifies this shape by specifying each <glossary tag="vertex">vertex</glossary> of the marker. Each <keyword tag="point">point</keyword> consists of the horizontal distance in <property tag="pixels">pixels</property> from the left edge of the marker to the marker <glossary tag="vertex">vertex</glossary>, a comma, and the vertical distance in <property tag="pixels">pixels</property> from the top edge of the marker to the marker <glossary tag="vertex">vertex</glossary>.</p><p/><p>The first line in the list is the location of the marker shape's starting point. A blank line in the <b>markerPoints</b> indicates that the previous and next <glossary tag="vertex">vertexes</glossary> are not connected by a line--that is, the marker is broken into two (or more) pieces.</p><p/><p>If the <b>style</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> of the <keyword tag="graphic">graphic</keyword> is not<code> polygon </code>or<code> curve</code>, the setting of its <b>markerPoints</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> has no effect.</p><p/><p>If the<b> markerDrawn</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> is false, the <b>markerPoints</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> has no effect.</p>
