Or something. The point is, I would expect > 'circles' above to have len==cx, but it does not. What am I doing wrong?
The first thing you are doing wrong is failing to provide a complete, minimal, self-contained example illustrating the problem. I don't think the snippet you gave is representative of what you are running. Instead of "map" I think you mean "zip". Where are you incrementing "i"? The general approach of using the get_facecolor() method to get the array, and indexing into it, is fine. That is not where the problem is. Once you put together a minimal example, I think you will find the problem--or that there really is no problem. A collection is used by scatter because it is much more efficient than a sequence of objects.
