 ChartElementData["PlotMarkers"]

 {"CenterMarkers", "ContrastMarkers", "EmptyMarkers", "FilledMarkers", 
  "HalfFilledMarkers", "SimpleContrastMarkers", "SimpleMarkers"}

?CenterMarkers
Information::notfound: Symbol CenterMarkers not found. >>

Where can I find information about all these and examples of application?

    Hmm. That appears to be my mistake. They're strings and not symbols. Specifically, they're named data that you can query, e.g. ChartElementData["CenterMarkers"] will produce a list containing the markers, etc. – rcollyer Sep 24 '15 at 13:40
  • @rcollyer. The Documentation Center is very thin on the subject of ChartElementData; there is not article ref/ChartElementData for that function. – m_goldberg Sep 24 '15 at 15:27
  • @m_goldberg you are correct, but it is my fault for suggesting it to him without giving a further example. – rcollyer Sep 24 '15 at 18:22

m = 6;

data = Table[(m - n + 1) x, {n, 1, m}, {x, 0, 1, .1}];

cedPM = ChartElementData["PlotMarkers"]

{"CenterMarkers", "ContrastMarkers", "EmptyMarkers", "FilledMarkers", \
"HalfFilledMarkers", "SimpleContrastMarkers", "SimpleMarkers"}

Column[ListLinePlot[data, PlotMarkers -> ChartElementData[#], 
    PlotLabel -> #, PlotLegends -> Table[(m - n + 1) x, {n, m}]] & /@ 
  cedPM]
