Hello. Can anyone please tell me what I’m doing wrong here? I just want to draw a circle at the point (1,2), but I can’t find any circle, ellipse or rectangle drawing commands in Makie.
```julia
julia> using GLMakie
julia> function fred()
# Plot the simplex axes:
fig = Figure(fontsize=24)
axis = Axis(fig[1, 1])
scatter!( axis, [1], [2], markercolor=:green, markersize=15)
fig
end
fred (generic function with 1 method)
julia> fred()
Error showing value of type Figure:
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching gl_convert(::Symbol)
Closest candidates are:
gl_convert(::T) where T<:GeometryBasics.Mesh at C:\Users\hswt136nia\.julia\packages\GLMakie\TfSB1\src\GLAbstraction\GLUniforms.jl:194
```

It’s just `color` not `markercolor`, the error message is very bad but it stems from the unknown `markercolor` attribute getting passed forward until it fails somewhere in GLMakie internals
