Sorry for my misleading words - I did not correctly recall my own work
from back then...
In fact, the code as it is does not change the mec automatically when
the mfc of a filled_marker is set to "None" but leaves it black. I did
consider adding an automation to change but decided against it. The
logic would have become too complex and hard to predict.
What you can do is setting the mec afterwards using get_color on the
plot like
pl, = plot(x,y,"-o",mfc="None")
pl.set_mec(pl.get_color())
Hope that helps?
Greetings,
Norbert
