[Matplotlib-users] Legend with numpoints = 1

Hello,

I would like to make a plot showing data points and a line, where the
legend contains a single point for the data points, and a small line
segment for the line. However, with numpoints = 1, the line is not
shown, as can be seen in the attached figure numpoints1.png. The second
attached figure, desired_legend.png, shows how I would like the legend
to look. I have also attached a simple script that demonstrates the
problem with numpoints=1.

Is there any way to create the legend as I would like it?

Thank you,

Paul
