[Matplotlib-users] unfilled markers?

[C M <cmp...@gm...>]

Sorry this is a basic question but I can't figure out where
in the docs nor archives I could find this.

Is there a built in method for having unfilled markers?
(ones that match the line color).

I could set mfc (marker face color) to white and
mec (marker edge color) to the color of my line, but
what if I don't know the color (because it is generated
through the mpl color cycler)?

Thanks.
