Hi all,
I believe I've found a bug in scatter function in matplotlib 1.4.2:
from numpy import *
import matplotlib
from matplotlib.pyplot import *
figure()
subplot(111)
h = scatter([NAN], [NAN], marker="o", facecolor="r", edgecolor="r", s=3)
legend([h], ["scatter"])
savefig("out.png")
close()
The code above fails with ValueError exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "legend.py", line 9, in <module>
legend([h], ["scatter"])
File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib-1.3.1-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/matplotlib/pyplot.py",

ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence
There is some more information and the source of the problem described here:
