Hello. I’ve been trying to plot this database and save it on pdf. I’m not really sure why it it still shows the linewidth if I set it 0. This does not happen when I save it as a png file.  
Here is the code I am using:

```julia
gr()
q = plot(size=(1000,1000), camera = (70,30),dpi=300)
colors = ["#FFC857","#26c485","#B84A62","#854d27","#F15025","#30292f","#6457A6"]
for c in 1:k
    lab = [i for i in 1:size(datos_semi)[1] if kmeans_res.assignments[i]==c]
    scatter!(datos_semi[lab,2],datos_semi[lab,3],datos_semi[lab,4],markersize=2,alpha=1,color=colors[c],edgecolor=false, markerstrokewidth = false, linewidth=false )
end
savefig("prueba.pdf")
savefig("prueba.png")
q

```

This is a screenshot of the pdf (sadly as a new user I can’t add a second media item to show the png).

Hope I can get some help! 🙃

Why not reducing marker size one notch and setting identical `markerstrokecolor`?

Resulting PDF looks great:

```julia
using Plots; gr()

plot(size=(1000,1000), dpi=300)
scatter(rand(20),rand(20), ms=5, mc=:red, msc =:red)
scatter!(rand(20),rand(20), ms=5, mc=:green, msc =:green)
savefig("PDF_markerstrokecolor.pdf")

```
