python scatter点的大小_pyplot散点图标记大小 (pyplot scatter plot marker size)

Because other answers here claim that s denotes the area of the marker, I'm adding this answer to clearify that this is not necessarily the case.

Size in points^2

The argument s in plt.scatter denotes the markersize**2. As the documentation says

s : scalar or array_like, shape (n, ), optional

size in points^2. Default is rcParams['lines.markersize'] ** 2.

This can be taken literally. In order to obtain a marker which is x points large, you need to square that number and give it to the s argument.

So the relationship between the markersize of a line plot and the scatter size argument is the square. In order to produce a scatter marker of the same size as a plot marker of size 10 points you would hence call scatter( .., s=100).

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig,ax = plt.subplots()

ax.plot([0],[0], marker
