scatter plot with data coord sized glyphs

[Heiland, Randy]

Hello,

Is it possible to specify scatter plot glyph sizes - specifically, circles and, e.g., radii, in data coords, rather than “marker size” of “points**2”?

thanks, Randy

Syrtis Major's gist at  https://gist.github.com/syrte/592a062c562cd2a98a83  seems to do what you want.  See this stackoverflow answer for an example of the circles function in action -

Thanks Scott! That certainly gets me closer. One question/problem I still have is that it doesn’t seem to like RGB as colors, in spite of the docs. I’ve attached a simple  example.

From the docstring in circles - "Note that `c` should not be a single numeric RGB or RGBA sequence because that is indistinguishable from an array of values to be colormapped. (If you insist, use `color` instead).   So a slight modification of your code seems to do what you want


fig = plt.figure(figsize=(5,3))
ax = fig.gca()
ax.set_aspect("equal")

xvals = np.array([0,100])
yvals = np.array([0,0])
rvals = np.array([30,10])

rgb = np.array([[255, 0, 0], [0, 255, 0]])

circles(xvals, yvals, s=rvals, color=rgb / 255.)  # use color instead of c and make  0. <= rgb <= 1.

plt.xlim(-30,110)
plt.ylim(-30,30)
plt.show()

Scott, thanks for the help once again! Yes, the results are exactly what I want, and seem to be quite fast for lots of circles.
