+// Define a custom star marker

+    for (var i = 0; i < points * 2; i++) {
+        var radius = i % 2 === 0 ? outerRadius : innerRadius;
+        var ang = (i * Math.PI) / points - Math.PI / 2;
+        var x = radius * Math.cos(ang);
+        var y = radius * Math.sin(ang);
+        path += (i === 0 ? '' : 'L') + x.toFixed(2) + ',' + y.toFixed(2);
+    }
+    path += 'Z';
+    return path;
+}
+
+// Register the custom markers
+Plotly.Drawing.addCustomMarker('heart', heartMarker);
+Plotly.Drawing.addCustomMarker('star5', star5Marker);
+
+// Use them in a plot
+Plotly.newPlot('plot1', [{
+    x: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],

API Reference

+
+ 
Plotly.Drawing.addCustomMarker(name, drawFunc, opts)
+
+Parameters:
+  - name (string): The name of the new marker symbol
+  - drawFunc (function): A function(r, angle, standoff) that returns an SVG path string
+  - opts (object, optional): Configuration options
+    - backoff (number): Backoff distance for this symbol (default: 0)
+    - needLine (boolean): Whether this symbol needs a line (default: false)
+    - noDot (boolean): Whether to skip creating -dot variants (default: false)
+    - noFill (boolean): Whether this symbol should not be filled (default: false)
+
+Returns:
+  - (number): The symbol number assigned to the new marker
+
+Marker Variants:
+  Automatically creates these variants (unless noDot is true):
+  - 'name'           : Base marker (filled)
+  - 'name-open'      : Open marker (outline only)
+  - 'name-dot'       : Marker with dot in center
+  - 'name-open-dot'  : Open marker with dot in center
