Probably not directly, but I hadn't thought about that before.  For a set of
scatter points that are colored by values, what should the legend show?  In
other words, what does it *mean* for there to be a legend for points that
are colored in a potentially non-uniform manner?

So, maybe this is desired behavior (but possibly by accident)?

Thanks for your help,
