[Matplotlib-users] scatter symbol size?

[Jeff P. <jef...@se...>]

Hello, I am using scatter function to make markers, and I am confused
about how the sizing works.  When I set the size of markers in plot() it
behaves as expected, larger numbers makes larger markers.  However for
scatter I set the size to maybe 5 and then increase it to 50, and even
500 and there seems to be a limit on the size of the marker in that the
difference from 5 to 50 is large and from 50 to 500 its not much change.
How does this work? Thanks.
 
axes.scatter(data,array, marker='o', c='g', linewidth=1, edgecolor='k',
alpha=0.5, s=50)
 
 
also, lines seem to plot over markers regardless of the order of the
call to plot() and scatter(). How can I force the markers to draw ontop
of the lines so that I don't see the line beneath it? I'm using WxAgg.
Thanks.
 
Jeff
