Distinguishing markers

[Scott Prentice]

There are a few plugins that will expand the markers in place, but 
MarkerTools lets you select multiple markers at once (or the whole file) 
and browse through them one at a time or filter on a specific marker 
type and get the total count of marker selected. (In addition to other 
useful features).

You can see all available marker-related plugins (currently 10) in our 
Tool Search database ..
