There are linting errors, but more importantly, it appears you've removed very large chunks of existing support, which breaks the tests, and would not be wanted. |

PR Summary
Fix the bug described in#24404, in which the
scatterfunction did not respect thefacecolors='none'option, resulting in filled markers even when the user only wanted an outline. Since there are logs reporting the possibility that thecparameter inscatter()might fail to overridefacecolor, this implementation accounts for this possibility.Why is this change necessary?
The
facecolors='none'option should produce hollow (unfilled) markers, but the current behavior ignored this setting, filling the markers with the default color.What problem does it solve? Allows
plt.scatter(..., facecolors='none')to correctly draw empty markers—that is, with only the outline visible, as expected and as per the documentation.What is the reason for this implementation?
The implementation adjusts the internal handling of
facecolorsinPathCollection, ensuring that the valuenoneis interpreted correctly and the fill is omitted.Minimal Example
