Re: [Matplotlib-users] open circles aren't showing up in the legend box
I doubt there is a color called 'face', according to documentation: In [2]: setp(mat.collections.PathCollection,'edgecolor') edgecolor: matplotlib color arg or sequence of rgba tuples probably because matplotlib doesn't know how rend the color 'face'?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] open circles aren't showing up in the legend box
Joe, I think the problem is the edgecolor='face' in the scatter call for the open circles. For me when I omit that, it all works. I'd also note that calling legend after draw results in the legend showing the circles correctly colored.

The legend for this plot shows both labels, but there is no symbol for the open circles (see missing_legend_circles.png). Switching to matplotlib.pylab yields the same result. However, from an ipython --pylab session the open circles are displayed in the legend. This has me more baffled than usual. Here's the code to reproduce the enclosed figure: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig = plt.figure() plot = fig.add_subplot(111) plot.scatter([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], c = [0.2, 0.4, 0.6], label = 'one', cmap = 'jet', marker = 'o', edgecolor = 'face') plot.scatter([1, 2, 3], [7, 6, 5], c = [0.2, 0.4, 0.6], label = 'two', cmap = 'jet', marker = 'o', edgecolor = 'face', facecolor = 'none') plot.legend() plt.show() This is with matplotlib 1.1 and 1.2 on Windows 7 with the TkAgg, WxAgg and WX backends.

Thank you everyone for your answers.
