Each basic symbol is also represented by a number. Adding 100 to that number is equivalent to appending the suffix "-open" to a symbol name. Adding 200 is equivalent to appending "-dot" to a symbol name. Adding 300 is equivalent to appending "-open-dot" or "dot-open" to a symbol name.

In the following figures, hover over a symbol to see its name or number. Set the `marker_symbol` attribute equal to that name or number to change the marker symbol in your figure.

#### Basic Symbols

```python
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure()

fig.update_layout(title="Basic Symbols")

fig.update_xaxes(showticklabels=False)
fig.update_yaxes(showticklabels=False)

for index in range(27):
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=[(index % 6)], y=[index // 6], name="",
marker_symbol=index, marker_color='black',
marker_size=10, showlegend=False, mode="markers+text",
textposition="middle right", text=f'<b>{index}</b>',
hovertemplate=f'<b>Symbol Number: {index}</b>'))

fig.show()
```

#### All Symbols
In the following figure, hover over a symbol to see its name or number. Set the `marker_symbol` attribute equal to that name or number to change the marker symbol in your figure.
