How to have legend coloured according to data

Good Morning to all,

I've created a scatter plot with week days on the x and counter on the y axis. now i've get the graph with marker coloured according to weekday. my struggle is to have the legend following the weekday too. I've tried to treat legend as object, but i cannot get the result

thank you

Alejandro, quick clarification. Are the colors in your scatter plot really colored according the weekday or are they colored according to the counter reading?

monthlyAccidents=groupsummary(data,["AccidentMonth","AccidentWeekDay2"])
monthlyScatter=scatter(monthlyAccidents.AccidentMonth,monthlyAccidents.GroupCount,30,monthlyAccidents.AccidentWeekDay2,"filled")

I suggest you consider using gscatter

Otherwise, you have two possibilities:

1. use one scatter() call for each different group, so that one scatter object is created per group. Each scatter object can have its own legend entry; or
2. use only a single scatter() call with the "color" parameter set according to day of the week. But then use h(K) = scatter(nan,nan,[],COLOR); repeatedly to add additional invisible scatter objects. Then pass that handle h to legend() as the first parameter, so that it will create legend entries only for those (invisible) objects.

with gscatter works perfectly
