The fifth combobox in the "Properties" tool (to the left of the canvas)
allows you to set the type of marker.  By default it's set to "disk",
you can change it to "circle", "box", "square", "cross", etc.    The
color is determined by the stroke color.   To change the type of a
marker already on paper, select the marker, then change the setting in
the combobox.

If you need more types of markers, you can define them yourself in a
style sheet.

Cheers,
 Otfried
