You can also cycle through the list matplotlib uses

  import matplotlib.lines as lines

  # filled markers
  fmarkers = lines.Line2D.filled_markers

  # all markers
  markers = lines.Line2D.markers.keys()

but this is not ideal, since lines.Line2D.markers is a dictionary and
the keys will come back un-ordered.  Noone has every asked for
auto-marker cycling before, but it might be a good idea and wouldn't
be too hard to add.
