[Matplotlib-users] Crosshairs

[Paul R. <pau...@nr...>]

Hi,

I see that scatter() has a variety of different symbols that you can  
choose from, and even a way to create your own custom markers.   
However, I can't figure out how to make a crosshair symbol (a plus  
with non-touching lines) as my marker, which I'd like to use to show  
the  location of a star on an underlying image without obscuring the  
star itself.

Graphically, I'd like a marker symbol that looks like this...

Does anyone know how to pull this off?

Thanks!
