Re: [Matplotlib-users] Variable size markers legend formatting

Adam, I agree that the Circle ended up with a rectangle in the legend, which I wouldn't think of as the expected response. Would the following work for your purposes? figure() p,=plot(0,0,marker='o',ls='',color='red') legend([p], [Red Rectangle],numpoints=1) p.remove() draw() -Sterling On

Hey Adam, I wouldn't make a circle, instead use a Line2D artist (accessible from pyplot) with they same (base) symbology as your scatter plot. It has pretty much the same call signature as ax.plot -paul On Fri, Apr 11, 2014 at 9:35 AM, Sterling Smith smit...@fusion.gat.comwrote: Adam, I

Hello, I've been searching but can't seem to find this topic addressed (perhaps wrong search terms) Simply put, I have a scatter plot with variable size markers, and I'd like to have the markers all be a single size in the legend. Is there a standard way to do this? Thanks.
