I am having trouble getting the markers small enough to fit my needs. I am using the code below to generate the plot.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams['figure.dpi'] = 500
plt.plot(xvals, yvals, color='green', marker='.', linestyle='solid',markersize=1.0, linewidth=0.1,fillstyle='full')
plt.savefig('myPlotName.png')
plt.show()
My actual problem is, that the point markers will not get smaller with markersizes below 1.0. They stay at constant size, but are not filled anymore. The line thickness of the circle decreases with the markersize though.
See example pictures below. The full range of my data with marker size 1.0 and a close up using marker size 0.5.
Full data with marker size 1.0
I want to fit some smooth curves through this data and want to see the whole result. Therefore I am saving it to a picture at a high DPI value.
The fillstyle='full' did not change anything and I ran into the same problem using plt.scatter.
Is it just not the way matplolib is meant to be used as you would usually generate plots that shall fit on a usual page size? If so, what could I use with python instead?
