Hello again, I've posted these two issues in separate mails, as I suspect they're actually different problems.
This error is particular to the default version of MacOSX's matplotlib version 1.4.3: When doing a simple plot: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt def test_plot(): x = range(11) y = [x0**2 for x0 in x] plt.plot(x, y, 'o:', fillstyle='none', label = "1", ms = 10) plt.legend() plt.show() def main(args): test_plot() return 0 if __name__ == '__main__': import sys sys.exit(main(sys.argv)) Much of the data is available on this thread on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31408928/how-can-i-plot-hollowed-symbols-connected-with-dotted-lines-in-one-go/31410105?noredirect=1#comment50794519_31410105 The gist is that a dotted line ('o:') works correctly on my system (Linux Slackware/matplotlib 1.3.1 and 1.4.3), on C.C.Yang's Linux Mint, but not on his MacOSX (on which the _circle symbols_ are also dotted). It does work if he defines TkAgg or GtkAgg (even though he does not have Gtk installed on his Mac) Any suggestions to solve this? Is there a problem in the MacOSXAgg backend?
