Hollow markers are not transparent

Comienza ejecutando la reproducción proporcionada en Python con las versiones indicadas de Basemap y matplotlib, centrándote en el punto de entrada m.plot y en los marcadores huecos, semirrellenos y completamente rellenos. Compara la salida renderizada con la transparencia esperada descrita en el issue y, a continuación, verifica que los marcadores huecos se rendericen sin relleno mientras los demás estilos de marcador permanezcan sin cambios.

Hello,

When I tried to plot hollow markers on the map, the marker is actually filled, not transparent. See this map below:

Below is the code to reproduce this map:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap

lon_ll = -124.5  # lower left corner, longitude
lon_ur = -105.2  # upper right corner, longitude
lat_ll = 32.0    # lower left corner, latitude
lat_ur = 42.0    # upper right corner, latitude

f = plt.figure(dpi=100)
ax = plt.axes()

m = Basemap(llcrnrlon=lon_ll,llcrnrlat=lat_ll,
            urcrnrlon=lon_ur,urcrnrlat=lat_ur,\
            rsphere=(6378137.00,6356752.3142),\
            resolution='c',projection='merc',\
            lat_0=(lat_ll+lat_ur)/2,\
            lon_0=(lon_ll+lon_ur)/2,lat_ts=20.,
            epsg = 3310)

m.arcgisimage(service='World_Physical_Map', xpixels=120, epsg=3310, verbose=False)

m.drawstates()

LA = (34.05, -118.25)
LV = (36.175, -115.136389)
SF = (37.783333, -122.416667)
PH = (33.45, -112.066667)

ms = 15
alpha = 0.75

m.plot(*m(LV[1], LV[0]), marker='s', ms=ms,
       ls='none', mew=1.25,c='blue', fillstyle='none', alpha=alpha)
m.plot(*m(LA[1], LA[0]), marker='o', ms=ms,
       ls='none', mew=1.25,c='red', fillstyle='right', alpha=alpha)
m.plot(*m(PH[1], PH[0]), marker='o', ms=ms,
       ls='none', mew=1.25,c='green', fillstyle='full', alpha=alpha)
m.plot(*m(SF[1], SF[0]), marker='o', ms=ms,
       ls='none', mew=1.25,c='cyan', fillstyle='left', alpha=alpha,
       markerfacecoloralt='white')

horiz_offset = 0.6  # unit: degrees
plt.text(*m(LA[1] + horiz_offset, LA[0]), 'Los Angeles')
plt.text(*m(LV[1] + horiz_offset, LV[0]), 'Las Vegas')
plt.text(*m(SF[1] + horiz_offset, SF[0]), 'San Francisco')
plt.text(*m(PH[1] + horiz_offset, PH[0]), 'Phoenix')

The markers for Los Angeles and Las Vegas should have been hollow (on the left side for LA, and fully for LV), but they are not. For half-full markers, such as the marker for San Francisco, I can set the markerfacecoloralt to other colors, but not for fully open markers.

• Operating system: Windows 10
• Python version: 3.6.6
• Basemap version: both 1.1.0 and 1.2.0 have this issue
• matplotlib version: 2.2.2

Note that I used to not have this issue some time ago, with older versions of matplotlib (I don't remember which).
