pgfplots：頂部有標記的線圖的圖例標記不正確

Question

根據pgfplots手冊（第 4.9.5 節），every legend image post可用於繪製「線圖，並在其上繪製選定的標記」。在該部分中，他們提供了單一圖 + 標記的範例。然而，當我嘗試將他們的範例擴展到具有兩個圖+標記的圖形時，我在圖例中得到了錯誤的標記類型。

在下面的 MWE 中，我希望「第二拋物線」的圖例顯示正方形而不是圓形。如何讓正確的標記顯示在圖例中？

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.14}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \begin{axis}[legend image post style={mark=*}]
    \addplot+[only marks,forget plot] coordinates {(0.5,0.75) (1,1) (1.5,0.75)};
    \addplot+[mark=none,smooth,domain=0:2] {-x*(x-2)};
    \addlegendentry{Parabola}

    \addplot+[only marks,forget plot] coordinates {(0.5,1.75) (1,2) (1.5,1.75)};
    \addplot+[mark=none,smooth,domain=0:2] {-x*(x-2)+1};
    \addlegendentry{2nd Parabola}
  \end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Answer 1

正如OP已經在在問題下方評論可以添加legend image post style={mark=<correct mark>}到“每個”\addplot命令，但會相當冗長。為了縮短這一點，建立帶有參數的自訂樣式會更容易，我在第一個/左邊的解決方案中展示了這一點。

另一種選擇是先添加一些具有正確樣式的虛擬圖，但是當您想讓它以幾乎全自動的方式工作時，這要求您嚴格cycle list按照給定的順序使用成員。這顯示在下/右解決方案中。
