Bug report

Bug summary

Whenever the edge width of a marker is increased beyond the size of the marker, you would want the marker to

Code for reproduction

importmatplotlib.pyplotaspltforiinrange(0,150,20):fig,ax=plt.subplots()lines=ax.plot(0,0,marker='p',markersize=60,markeredgewidth=i,markeredgecolor='k',clip_on=False)plt.xlim([-0.04,0.04])plt.ylim([-0.04,0.04])plt.savefig(f'/home/bbeltr1/Downloads/test_{i}.png')fig._cachedRenderer

Actual outcome

While the outer extents of the pentagon's edge appear correct, you can see that the inner extents begin to recede away from the center as the edge width is set larger and larger, until eventually the original marker is fully visible again, along with some of the background.

Console output:
<matplotlib.backends.backend_agg.RendererAgg at 0x7f5277bf0e80>

Expected outcome

The expected outcome is a fully-shaded pentagon (due to the edge being huge). My PDF backend does this correctly, as seen below in a screenshot of whattest_140.pdf looks like if I save as'test_{i}.pdf' instead:

Matplotlib version

• Operating system: Debian 9
• Matplotlib version: 3.1.3
• Matplotlib backend (print(matplotlib.get_backend())):module://ipykernel.pylab.backend_inline is what gets printed, and inline plots also show this error, but I can take Jupyter out of the loop by saving directly to file. Both cases are apparently usingRendererAgg to make the PNG, as seen above.
• Python version: 3.7.3
• Jupyter version (if applicable):
• Other libraries:

Matplotlib was installed and updated via the default conda channel.
