I'm making a ListPlot and I'm trying to use the PlotMarkers option. I
see that there are a few nice examples of markers in the docs:

http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/PlotMarkers.html

But there is no mention of where I can see all the markers and choose
from. I'd want an elongated marker, something like an ellipse.

Also, can I use a horizontal line as my marker? I want to mark the
average of the list as a horizontal line in the plot. (All list items
have x=0.)

I hope someone can suggest a way to do these things.

Thanks for your time,
Ram Rachum.

You can use any kind of graphic or symbol as plot marker. Just
genereate them with the Mathematica drawing tools (see Graphics menu)
and copy them in the PlotMarkers option. For the horizontal line you
could use the minus sign, the Dash or LongDash characters or a drawn
horizontal line in a graphic.

Copying graphics from an outside source should also be possible.

If you want to see what automatic markers are avaible try something
like

ListPlot[Table[{i, i + 1, i + 2}, {i, 20}], PlotMarkers -> Automatic]

I already figured it out myself, thanks.

Thanks again to everyone for your overwhelming help on this.
