I'm trying to put a legend on a plot done using ListPlot

a = Table[i^2, {i, 0, 1, 0.01}];
b = Table[i^3, {i, 0, 1, 0.01}];
ListPlot[{a, b}, PlotLegends -> {"test", "test"}]

I can increase the size of the text in the legend using PlotLegends->Style["legend entry",Fontsize->18] but I can't make the markers in the legend larger, I've tried LegendMarkerSize but the command is not recognized in Mathematica 10 (Student Edition) and I get an unkwown option error.

  • $\begingroup$ does ListPlot[{a, b}, PlotMarkers -> {Automatic, 6}, PlotLegends -> PointLegend[{"test", "test"}, LegendMarkers -> {Automatic, 16}]] work? Change 16 to a different number to play with the size of markers. $\endgroup$ – kglr May 18 at 12:38
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks, adding the PointLegend worked! $\endgroup$ – Three Diag May 18 at 13:42

$\begingroup$ 
ListPlot[{a, b}, PlotMarkers -> {Automatic, Tiny}, 
  PlotLegends ->  PointLegend[{"test", "test"}, LegendMarkers -> {Automatic, 24}]]

You can also use 

 ListPlot[{a, b}, PlotMarkers -> Automatic, 
 PlotLegends -> PointLegend[{"test", "test"}, LegendMarkerSize -> {30, 20}, 
   BaseStyle -> FontSize -> 20]]
