The code above creates the following graph, however i don't want the lines, i just need a scatter plot or marks of the data.

i have tried a few different options by doing 

   \addplot [ 
color=black
marks only
mark=*
]

however it don't like the mark styles. i like the default black and white cycle list style that comes with the just \addplot command however it plots the lines too. i essentially would like the markers to have a solid outline and a grey fill

here is some of the data from one of the files, i am not sure how to attach a file, maybe someone can tell me that also

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! Please make your code compilable (if possible), or at least complete it with \documentclass{...}, the required \usepackage's, \begin{document}, and \end{document}. It would also make things easier for people trying to solve your problem if you included a sample dataset to make the example code fully functional.

If you want to use the cycle list for colors and markers and to set option only marks as option for the \addplot command use

\addplot+[only marks]...;

Regarding the + see also Pgfplots Cycle List results in no Colors.

\begin{filecontents*}{data.txt}

\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass{paper}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}% loads also pgfplots, tikz, graphicx, xcolor
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.15}% added; current version is 1.15
\begin{document} 
\begin{figure}
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \begin{axis}[
        xlabel=$V$,
        ylabel=$z/h$,
        width=10cm,
        height=10cm,
        cycle list name=black white
      ]
      \pgfplotstableread{data.txt}\mydata;
      \addplot+[only marks] table [x=vol,y=zc]{\mydata};
      \addlegendentry{Polydisperse}
      \addplot+[only marks] table [x=vol,y=xc]{\mydata};
      \addlegendentry{Another legend entry}
    \end{axis}
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Result

enter image description here

If all plots in the axis environment should use only marks you could set

every axis plot/.append style=only marks

as axis option:

\begin{filecontents*}{data.txt}
id  xc  yc  zc  rc  vol
10  0.108193    0.041773    0.0752777   0.072213    0.00270779

\end{filecontents*}

        width=10cm,
        height=10cm,
        cycle list name=black white,
        every axis plot/.append style=only marks
      ]
      \pgfplotstableread{data.txt}\mydata;
      \addplot table [x=vol,y=zc]{\mydata};
      \addlegendentry{Polydisperse}
      \addplot table [x=vol,y=xc]{\mydata};
      \addlegendentry{Another legend entry}
    \end{axis}
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

The result is the same as above.
