# PlotMarkers shadows the settings by Style

The code below gives color-varying points with explicit Style wrappers:

ListPlot[Table[Style[{Cos[t], Sin[2 t]}, Hue[t/(2 Pi)]], {t, 0, 2 Pi,Pi/20}],PlotStyle -> PointSize[Medium]]


However, when I want to change the marker shape with PlotMarkers, the color settings are shadowed with default color:

ListPlot[Table[  Style[{Cos[t], Sin[2 t]}, Hue[t/(2 Pi)]], {t, 0, 2 Pi, Pi/20}], PlotStyle -> PointSize[Medium], PlotMarkers -> Automatic]


My questions are:

1. Can such behavior be considered as a bug?

2. What is the workaround for changing to another marker?

• On a scale of 0 (feature) to 10 (bug), this is probably an 8. (It's not what I'd expect, but there may be some good reason for it, and it doesn't entirely surprise me.) – Brett Champion Feb 3 '16 at 22:18

My thanks to @rcollyer for bringing an undocumented option to my attention which is the true solution to this problem. You just need to set Method -> {"OptimizePlotMarkers" -> False}
