Scatter data points too small

[Shaun Jackman]

When I use the scatter(x,y,s) function, no matter what value I pass to s, the 
data points are always a single pixel and very hard to see. Is there a bug, and 
if so, is there a fix? I'm running Octave 3.0.1.

I did find this thread, which seems related:

Thanks,
