Hi, I am trying to put a sphere (rather than circles or disks) as
markers for a plot.
One approach could be to make a PatchCollection of suitable patches -
see
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/patch_collection.html
for an example of PatchCollection, and
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/dolphin.html
for a fairly complicated user-defined Patch. Matplotlib doesn't do any
gradient fills yet, so you're a little limited in drawing the sphere.
Another option is to make a bitmap drawing of a sphere in e.g. Gimp and
put multiple copies of it at various coordinates, but I don't think this
is well-supported currently.
