Thanks John,
A kwarg fillstyle with options 'full|top|bottom|left|right' for any marker
is certainly better than what i have done.
I just did not have an idea how to program this kwarg.
Further, I can't see an easy way of generalizing the half-filling of
markers.
is there a better way than just programming each half-filled marker
separately ?
Perhaps if you can give me some hints, I can try to do the rest of the work.
