Here's my stab at a complete set of icons, the style consistent with the ones above (maybe something other than red for a fill though).

I think it helps to have "markers" that remind the user what "markers" are, which is why I included two.
Visually, this is a bit easier to sort through than just the edge of the line and a single marker, I think.

Thoughts?

JFYI, I've almost finished implementing a GUI for paint-order.

Neat... what does it look like? :D
Do you still need icons for it? Does the implementation use icons? :)
