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

To actually make the markers appear on top of the axes, you can use zorder:

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])

plt.plot(x, y, 'o', zorder=10, clip_on=False)
plt.xlim(0, 6)
plt.ylim(0, 4.5)
plt.show()
