Hi,  
I would like to adjust marker settings in the legend, e.g. size and strokewidth, ideally with the pyplot backend. In the following minimal working example I would like the markers in the legend to be the same as in the plot:

```julia
plot([1,2,3],
    marker=:circle,
    markersize=20,
    markerstrokewidth=0,
    linetype=:scatter,
    legend=true,
)

```

This looks like

in `Plots v1.0.11`. Is this even possible with the current version of `Plots.jl`?

Btw, this question was not answered here

- [Plot, pyplot() - marker size inside the legend](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/plot-pyplot-marker-size-inside-the-legend/30454)

Thanks in advance to your answers!

I just saw that this is fixed in `Plots v1.0.13`. The marker stroke width is now the same in the legend as in the plot.

Hi,  
I don’t know what I miss but with Plots v1.6.2  
and pyplot() backend I have different size of marker in plot and legend : ![this](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/d/9/d9dea24d3f4ae9015a8054af07626f4c1e607331.png)  
Any hints ?

Could you file an issue with a minimal working example at [https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl) ?

Hi,  
I did fill and issue here [https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/issues/2951](https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/issues/2951)  
I don’t fully understood the redirection of it since it also happen with pyplot backend.
