plotting markers on top of axes

Question

I am tying to make a (x,y) scatter plot using numpy. Right now the axes start from (0,0) and extend to align with the range of the data. I need to plot two points which lie on

Answer 1

You can turn off the clip flag of the line object created by plt.plot.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = np.array([0,1,2,3,4,5,6])
y = np.array([0,2,0,4.5,0.5,2,3])

line = plt.plot(x,y,'o')[0]
line.set_clip_on(False)
plt.show()
