hi all,
i am plotting two distinct lines, one of the format ‘-o’ the other of the format ‘-s’ – i.e. one line with circular markers the other with a square marker. when i add a legend to the figure, it gives a legend that looks like this:
o—o label of circular marker line
s—s label of square marker line
however, in these types of plots, it’s standard for the line in the legend to only have one marker. meaning the legend should look like this:
–o-- label of circular marker line
–s-- label of square marker line
is there a way to get this modified legend appearance?
second question: how can i make the legend altogether smaller? or at least make the label text font smaller?
thanks.

numpoints=1 is what you want.
For font size and etc, check the similar question posted a few days ago.
