I don't think something like that work in matplotlib with scatter for
the marker parameter. But it's possible to use an array of sizes and
colors, ie.
s = [20,30,40]
x = arange(3)
y = arange(3)
scatter(x,y,s=s)
See scatter doc string:
Arguments s and c can also be given as kwargs; this is encouraged
for readability.
s is a size in points^2. It is a scalar
or an array of the same length as x and y.
c is a color and can be a single color format string,
or a sequence of color specifications of length N,
or a sequence of N numbers to be mapped to colors
using the cmap and norm specified via kwargs (see below).
Note that c should not be a single numeric RGB or RGBA
sequence because that is indistinguishable from an array
of values to be colormapped. c can be a 2-D array in which
the rows are RGB or RGBA, however.
