Observable

Hey Fil. Can you move this into the Observable team so can share maintenance of code examples? Thank you. 🙏

sure! I don't want to burden our collections with all my experiments, but this one is strictly following  documentation :)

How can I use the svg of another Plot as a custom marker?

Martien van Steenbergen

Why would you want to do such a thing? :)

But it's perfectly legal to place SVG inside a marker, so try:

   marker: (color) => htl.svg`<marker
          viewBox="-4 -4 8 8"
          style="overflow: visible; fill-opacity: 0.2;"
        >${Plot.frame({fill: color}).plot()}`

Ah, well, I want to plot small lissajous figures at specific places, showing the ‘harmony’ of a specific musical ratio. Both the container and the markers created by Plot. I’ll investigate your suggestion. Thanks.

Wonderful! Thanks. (Seems like I’ve already liked it some time ago). Plot of Plots – always handy.
