Mike, There are a couple of ways. See below: # untested, might have typos ~~~~ import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as pl x = np.random.randn(20) fig = pl.figure() ax = pl.add_subplot(1,1,1) # you can specify the marker size two ways directly: ax.plot(x, 'ko', markersize=4) # size in points ax.plot(x, 'bs', ms=4) % ms is just an alias for markersize # or you can specify it after the plotting: X = ax.plot(x, 'ko') # X is a *list* of line2d objects... X[0].set_markersize(4) # set_ms works too # or... pl.setp(Y, markersize=4) # again, ms works. # ~~~~~~~~ For a list of all the properties you can tweak, type: pl.getp(<object>) HTH, -paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
