Re: [Matplotlib-users] numpoints in legend() function for scatter plot is not working in matplotlib 1.1.0?

[Chao Y. <cha...@gm...>]

Hi Ben,

I tried the "numpoints" in legend function for scatter plot, in dev version
and GTKAgg backend it works.

In [3]: mat.__version__
Out[3]: '1.2.x'

In [4]: mat.get_backend()
Out[4]: 'GTKAgg'
