If I have something like this
plot(x, y, shape = :rect, m = (5, :black, stroke(1, :red))
the second option in m
fills my marker with that color. But what I want is an empty marker, not white. Empty! Is this possible here?

You can’t - it’s a weakness of the current gr backend to Plots. The other backends will do this if you set markeralpha = 0
.
Too bad. I really like gr
. However, if I change to pyplot
, i.e.
using Plots
pyplot()
data = rand(10,2)
plot(data[:,1], data[:,2], m = (8, 0.0, :red, stroke(1, :blue)),
framestyle=:box, grid = false, size = (400,400))
where now the second option in m
is the markeralpha = 0
, it turns out that the label is not right. The label should be a circle (the stroke) and a line. Any ideas?
I am not actually sure about that are you looking for. I guess when you talk about label you want to say legend. In that case, in
http://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/examples/pyplot/#arguments
there is an example, adding the shape in marker (with :circle). Maybe it could work for you.
Yes, I mean legend. The problem is that if you set in the example that you mention the
markeralpha =0
then the whole marker goes away in the legend. Ideally I will hope to see just the stroke and the corresponding line.
