"""
Scatter plot with custom markers

Chaco supports a wide range of custom markers.

Interacting with the plot:

  - Left-mouse-drag pans the plot.
  - Mouse wheel up and down zooms the plot in and out.
  - Pressing "z" brings up the Zoom Box, and you can click-drag a rectangular
    region to zoom. If you use a sequence of zoom boxes, pressing alt-left-arrow
    and alt-right-arrow moves you forwards and backwards through the "zoom
    history".
