is there a simple way to have scatter() plots (or just plots) with data points shown by some marker and connected by lines, but, when markerfacecolor='none' (or facecolor=none) have the line not shown within the area of the marker.
E.g.:
xx = arange(0.0,10.0,0.5)
yy = sin(xx)
plt.plot(xx,yy,'k-',marker='o',markerfacecolor='none')
results in the following figure.
But I would like the lines connecting data points to start not from the center of each marker but from its borders.
