seaborn: Data is not showing on matplotlib 1.4.2

Hi,

thanks for this wonderful library; I noticed a weird behaviour when using seaborn with the latest matplotlib (1.4.2, with python 2.7 on linux64). A simple plot like this:

plot(range(10), range(10), 'bo')

which works fine using just matplotlib, appears completely blank after importing seaborn. I did some tests and it seems that the ‘dots’ marker don’t work anymore. From what I’ve seen it used to work with a previous version of matplotlib (1.3.1).

Thanks for your help, Marco

Implement workaround for matplotlib 1.4.2 bug This is an unpleasant hack, but this is also a nasty bug and matplotlib apparently won't be releasing a fix for a few months: https://github.com/matplotl... — committed to mwaskom/seaborn by mwaskom 10 years ago

Just wanted to make a seaborn workaround (other than downgrading matplotlib) more explicit. If you do

sns.set_context(rc={'lines.markeredgewidth': 0.1})

the matplotlib markers should show up, and hopefully not look too different from the default.
