The 'color' argument of the 'scatter' function can take an array of
(r,g,b,alpha) values:


In [23]: x = array([0, 1, 2, 3])

In [24]: y = array([0, 1, 1, 2])

In [25]: c = array([[0,0,1,1], [0,0,1,0.5], [0,1,0,0.5], [1,0,1,.9]])

In [26]: scatter(x, y, color=c)
Out[26]: <matplotlib.collections.PathCollection at 0x898adf0>
