Hi, you are limited to 10 "named" symbols. But you can use much more symbols with scatter !!! Have a look at examples/scatter_star_symbols.py.
You can use: pylab.scatter(x,y,marker=(5,0)) produces a 5-sided regular polygon. pylab.scatter(x,y,marker=(5,1)) produces a starlike polygon pylab.scatter(x,y,marker=(5,2)) produces an asterisk. You can even define your own symbols by defining the vertices of a polygon: verts = zip( [x1,x2,x3...], [y1,y2,y3,...]) pylab.scatter(x,y,marker=(verts,0)) Note that there is a third, optional parameter for the marker keyword, ie. marker=(5,0,math.pi/4.) that defines the rotation of a symbol.
