matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Hi all,
I have a plot in which I have 15 markers, each with a separate size
(created by calls to plot()). Because of this, the legend also shows
variable size by default but I'd like all markers in the legend to have the
same size.
I'm looking for an alternative to manually calling plot again with a
standardized marker size (say 10.0) but plotting offscreen or with NANs.
Thoughts I had were to either change the marker sizes after the legend is
drawn (but it seems very difficult to update a legend post-creation) or to
copy the handles and change the size that way (but I've yet to figure out
how to make a hard copy of the plot handles). Any solutions?
