Scatter plot, filled markers

Hi,

I want to produce a scatter plot with markers that are not filled (empty
markers). I note the following response to an earlier query regarding line2D

You can override the markerfacecolor as a kwarg

   >>> plot(arange(10), "ro", markerfacecolor=None)

You can also use the abbreviation "mfc"

   >>> plot(arange(10), "ro", mfc=None)

When I attempt this with scatter I get an error, reflecting the fact (after
minor digging) that RegularPolyCollection doesn't have a set_markerfacecolor
method.

Any suggestions on how to solve this much appreciated.

Cheers,

Gavin
