During a reading group discussion of this paper: The Science of Visual Data Communication: What Works

Some mentioned that we could implement the different shape options that were suggested in the paper.

@PatrickAdelberger I have no track on this issue, but the sprites are ordered in a sprite atlas which are loaded over the point sprite shader. What I need to update the atlas is 1 64x64 white image of the shape and a selection overlay like those:

The number is not a problem, its easy to update to support more than 4 shapes

EDIT: its also possible to make the sprite a bit smaller so that the selection would be a bit more prominent
