Simson, The scatter function or Axes method is designed for exactly this, but units support was broken in two places. I have fixed it in 6781 on the 98.5 maintenance branch, merged to the trunk in 6782. So, please update to one of these and try scatter(). (Watch out for the odd definition of the "s" kwarg for size: area in points squared.)
