The marker size in points**2 (typographic points are 1/72 in.).
Default is ``rcParams['lines.markersize'] ** 2``.

The linewidth and edgecolor can visually interact with the marker
size.

If the linewidth is greater than 0 and the edegecolor is anything
but *'none'*, then the effective size of the marker will be
increased by half the linewidth as the stroke drawn for the edge
will be centered on the edge of the shape.

If the marker size is smaller than the linewidth there will be
visual artifacts.

To eliminate the marker edge either set *linewidth=0* or
*edgecolor='none'*.
