Use a different marker for each hue in sns.lmplot

[rgpdx]

Hello

I use the makers feature extensively in sns.lmplot but I have this new issue where I have a list of indefinite number of categories, so I can't use the makers = [item1, item2, ... itemn] since the number n can be different for each datafile I'm plotting. Is there a way to use itertools.cycle in seaborn where I can have a list of 10 or 20 makers and have the markers pulled from this list? I'm envisioning something like this

import itertools
mks = itertools.cycle(['o', 'x', '^', '+', '*', '8', 's', 'p', 'D', 'V'])

ax = sns.lmplot(x = "X", y = "Y", data = df, hue = "CATEGORY", makers = next(mks), , scatter_kws={"s": 150})

THe idea being that the various categories will cycle through the mks list to assign up to 10 different maker types and then cycle through them again if number of categories is greater than len(mks)

This code above obviously doesn't work, but can you let me know how I can achieve something like this?

I'm not sure I fully understand the question, but at the time you're plotting you know how many markers you need, right? Why not pass a list with that number? e.g. [next(marker_cycle) for _ in df["CATEGORY"].unique()]?

FWIW, without seeing it, this sounds like it's going to be a very hard plot to understand in any case.
