well... as is usually the case, as soon as I admitted defeat and asked
for help, I found the solution. ;)

----note---------
plot = scatter(x,y,s=s,c=c,alpha=0.3)
set(plot,'linewidth',0.0)   # <---  this is what does it
----end----------

maybe someone else will find this useful, or at least google will pick
it up for the next time I forget.  heh.

If there's a better way, I'm interested to know it, but this works
quite nicely.

Hi,

I spent a (VERY) little bit of time trying to find where the border is
drawn around each point/marker on a scatter plot and unfortunately got
lost in the ether.

I've not found a standardized way in the api to do this.  I found that
for lines, there's a "markeredgewidth" mentioned in the documentation,
but I can't seem to set this for scatter plots.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
jeremy

To make a ylabel on the right, use the text command.  You need to set
the transform to use axes coordinates (ax.transAxes), rotate the text
vertically, make the horizontal alignment left, the vertical alignment
centered.  Note that x, y = 1, 0.5 is the right, middle of the axes in
axes coordinates.  You also need to turn off clipping, so the text can
appear outside the axes w/o being clipped by the axes bounding box,
which is the default behavior.

from matplotlib.matlab import *

plot([1,2,3])

text(1.02, 0.5, 'volts',
     horizontalalignment='left',
     verticalalignment='center',
     rotation='vertical',
     transform=gca().transAxes,
     clip_on=False)
show()
