Resizing Legend Markers in Plots with Matplotlib command

[jman87]

I am using Julia 1.1.0 and plotting images using Plots with PyPlot backend. I need to find a way to make the size of markers in the legend be bigger. This issue has been asked before at least twice:

How to adjust the size of markers in legend box?

When I change the marker size, it works well. However, it does not change the size of markers in the legend box. [g] plot( xs, ys, titlefont = font("Times new roman", 32), tickfont = font("Times new roman", 24), guidefont = font("Times new roman", 24), legendfont = font("Times new roman", 24), xlabel = xtitle, xlims = xrange, xticks = xticks, ylabel = ytitle, ylims = yrange, yticks = yticks, linewidth = 3, linealpha = 1.0, mar…

Changing size of markers in legend with Plots

Hi everyone, I am on v1, plotting with Plots (and the GR backed). I know that I can change the size of markers with markersize in my plot, but I can’t seem to find a way to change the size within the legend. The markers in the legend show up in a different size. Is there a solution to this? I think this is the same as this question: How to adjust the size of markers in legend box?.

I have found the following article that explains how to do this from Matplotlib:

My question is twofold:

1. Can someone please add this to the Plots package?

2. Is there any way to use the Matplotlib commands directly in Julia right now? This would be a huge help for me in the short term, but I’m not familiar enough with calling other language commands inside Julia to figure out the correct syntax.
