`map.scatter` on basemap not displaying markers

问题

I have a map of Germany, and the coords of a few cities. plot displays the dots properly. I would like to use scatter instead, in order to be able to color the markets with respect to an other variable and then display a colorbar. The code runs in the console, but the dots are not visualized when I replace map.plot with map.scatter.

from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np


plt.figure(1)
map = Basemap(projection='merc',
              resolution='l',
              llcrnrlat=44.0,
              llcrnrlon=5.0,
              urcrnrlat=57.0,
              urcrnrlon=17)
map.drawcoastlines()
map.drawcountries()
map.fillcontinents(color='lightgray')
map.drawmapboundary()

long = np.array([ 13.404954,  11.581981,   9.993682,   8.682127,   6.960279,

x, y = map(long, lat)
map.plot(x,y,'o')
plt.show()

try adding "zorder" so that the points show up above the map:

    map.fillcontinents(color='lightgray',zorder=0)
