[Matplotlib-users] scatter plot legend

[Rich D. <dr...@in...>]

Hello,

I'm looking for the cleanest way to put a sort of legend into a scatter
plot.  I want a legend box that says "<blue circle> is something, <red
square> is somethingelse" and so on.  However I can't seem to set line
labels as I can with other kinds of plots, and for some reason legend for
prints the text that I supply vertically (and of course it doesn't print
the <blue circle> or whatever).

Any suggestions?  Just paste some text()?  (And if I do that, can I get it
to put a <blue circle> next to my label?)

Thanks to the developers of matplotlib and those who contribute support on
this list!
