I have version 1.3.1. I had to modify the example to be: {{{ import matplotlib.lines as mlines import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import matplotlib print matplotlib.__version__
blue_line = mlines.Line2D([], [], color='blue', marker='*', markersize=15, label='Blue stars') plt.plot([],[]) plt.legend([blue_line],['Blue stars']) plt.draw() plt.show() }}} Then the legend showed up correctly with stars. -Sterling On Sep 12, 2014, at 11:58AM, ConcreteVitamin wrote: > I tried the blue stars [1] example here, but the star markers are not > showing up in my second legend box.
