Selects shape (actual type) of the marker. Non-existing marker shape defaults to "RECTANGLE".
Multiplayer:
Multiplayer optimisation: Global marker commands always broadcast the entire marker state over the network. As such, the number of network messages exchanged when creating or editing a marker can be reduced by performing all but the last operation using local marker commands, then using a global marker command for the last change (and subsequent global broadcast of all changes applied to the marker).
Groups:
Markers

Syntax

Syntax:
markerName setMarkerShape shape
Parameters:
markerName: String
shape: String - the shape, can be one of:
Return Value:
Nothing

Examples

Example 1:
"Marker1" setMarkerShape "RECTANGLE";
