You can't do this with the built-in scatter or RegularPolyCollection
(which scatter uses) because these assume a size in points. But you
can roll your own PolyCollection fairly easily
import matplotlib.cm as cm
import matplotlib.numerix as nx
from matplotlib.collections import PolyCollection
from pylab import figure, show
xs, ys, radii, colors = nx.mlab.rand(4,100)
radii *= 0.1
def poly(x,y,r,numsides):
theta = 2*nx.pi/numsides*nx.arange(numsides)
return zip(x + r*nx.cos(theta), y + r*nx.sin(theta))
verts = [poly(x,y,r,6) for x,y,r in zip(xs, ys, radii)]
col = PolyCollection(verts)
col.set_array(colors)
col.set_cmap(cm.hot)
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, xlim=(0,1), ylim=(0,1), aspect=1)
ax.add_collection(col)
show()
