seaborn scatterplot marker size for ALL markers

Question

I can't find out anywhere how to change the marker size on seaborn scatterplots. There is a size option listed in the documentation but it is only for when you want variable size across points. I want the same size for all points but larger than the default!

I tried making a new column of integers in my dataframe and set that as the size, but it looks like the actual value doesn't matter, it changes the marker size on a relative basis, so in this case all the markers were still the same size as the default.

Edit: here's some code

ax = sns.scatterplot(x="Data Set Description", y="R Squared", data=mean_df)
plt.show()

I just tried something and it worked, not sure if it's the best method though. I added size=[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1] and sizes=(500, 500). So essentially I'm setting all sizes to be the same, and the range of sizes to be only at 500.

How are you plotting and what are you plotting? Without knowing these, it's hard to help — Sheldore
@Bazingaa I added code and a solution I found. Wasn't sure if I should answer my own question or not... — DataMan

You can do so by giving a value to the s argument to change the marker size.

Example:

ax = sns.scatterplot(x="Data Set Description", y="R Squared", data=mean_df, s=10)
