This example demonstrates a working solution to issue #8576, providing full support of the markevery property for axes.prop_cycle assignments through rcParams. Makes use of the same list of markevery cases from the markevery demo.
Renders a plot with shifted-sine curves along each column with a unique markevery value for each sine curve.
