matplotlib pyplot.plot() marker colors

Question

The code:

plt.plot(x,"g.")
plt.show()

generates:

When I try to specify colors in another way, lines are added:

plt.plot(x,"darkgreen",marker=".")
plt.show()

I don't need the lines. How can I use colors apart from the single character codes, without having the lines added to the plot?

Answer 1

Set linestyle to "None":

plt.plot(x,color="darkgreen",marker=".", linestyle="None")
