Hey everyone, 

I'm doing a dissertation where I need to vary the size of the points in a 2D
plot. Now I know that you can change the size of every point by changing the
value of markersize to any integer value you want, but how do you put in an
array so that every point is a specific size?

Thanks

Use scatter.

Watch out for the way the size is specified: area, not radius.
