According to documentation, and the behaviour of pyplot.plot(), it should be a pixel.\r\n\r\n\r\n**Code for reproduction**\r\n\r\n\u003c!--A minimum code snippet required to reproduce the bug, also minimizing the number of dependencies required--\u003e\r\n\r\n```python\r\nfrom matplotlib import pyplot as plt\r\nplt.scatter([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], marker=',')\r\nplt.show()\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Actual outcome**\r\n\r\n\u003c!--The output produced by the above code, which may be a screenshot, console output, etc.--\u003e\r\nPlot with square markers.\r\n\r\n**Expected outcome**\r\n\r\nPlot with pixel markers.\r\n\u003c!--A description of the expected outcome from the code snippet--\u003e\r\n\u003c!--If this used to work in an earlier version of Matplotlib, please note the version it used to work on--\u003e\r\n\r\n**Matplotlib version**\r\n\u003c!--Please specify your platform and versions of the relevant libraries you are using:--\u003e\r\n  * Operating system: Windows 7\r\n  * Matplotlib version: 2.0.2\r\n  * Matplotlib backend (`print(matplotlib.get_backend())`): Qt5Agg\r\n  * Python version: 3.6.0\r\n\r\n\u003c!--Please tell us how you installed matplotlib and python e.g., from source, pip, conda--\u003e\r\n\u003c!--If you installed from conda, please specify which channel you used if not the default--\u003e\r\nconda default channel.\r\n\r\nThis problem is also present in older version: mpl 1.4.3 on Python 2.7.10.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/subhacom","@type":"Person","name":"subhacom"},"datePublished":"2018-06-19T22:08:55.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":29},"url":"https://github.com/11460/matplotlib/issues/11460"}
