Is it possible to have a line graph with markers?

I'd like to plot a line with also has markers/gylphs on it
e.g. in matplotlib to plot a red line with cross markers you'd use `plot(x, y, 'rx-')` or for square markers `plot(x, y, 'rs-')

AFAICS in bokeh I can plot a line with `line` and I could plot the markers separately with scatter - is that the right way to do it?

It seems that if the legend name is the same the marker will get superimposed on top of the line in the legend which is what you want, however the marker is so large that it virtually obscures the line in the legend.

Is there a better way to achieve this? The seems to be no example of a line having markers and searching "marker" in the docs doesn't bring up much useful (only scatter).

Hi Dave,

I have made an issue:

https://github.com/ContinuumIO/bokeh/issues/570

and pushed a fix, so this can be used today if you want to build from source, otherwise it will be in the next release. I have attached a screenshot of what legends look like now.

Thanks,

Bryan
