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

[Adam H. <hug...@gm...>]

Hi Paul,

I tried out the legend proxy artist, and it works for rectangles in the
legend, but I can't seem to get a Circle to appear in the legend, which I
presume should be:

p = Circle((0, 0), fc="r")
legend([p], ["Red Rectangle"])
