[Tex/LaTex] Change mark size in legend entry

legendpgfplotstikz-pgf

I want the marks in the legend to be bigger than in the plot. But I'm facing the problem that if I use mark options in legend style, then I can't use it again in addplot.

At the moment I get the following result, but I want to have both marks bigger in the legend. How can I use mark options in legend style as well as in addplot ?

\documentclass{standalone} 
\usepackage{amsthm, amssymb} 
\usepackage{pgfplots} 
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.7} 

\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture} 
    \begin{axis}[ 
      xmin = 0,
      xmax = 6,
      legend style = { 
        legend cell align=left, 
        mark options={scale=3},
        /tikz/every even column/.append style={column sep=1cm} 
    }] 

      \addplot[red,mark=*,only marks,mark size=2]  table {
      x y
      1 2
      2 4
      4 3
    };
    \addplot[blue,mark=triangle,only marks,mark size=2,mark options={rotate=180}]  table {
              x y
              1 1
              2 2
              4 1
            };

  \addlegendentry{no. 1}
  \addlegendentry{no.2}

    \end{axis} 
  \end{tikzpicture} 
\end{document}

Use legend image post style={scale=3},.

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{amsthm, amssymb}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.7}

\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \begin{axis}[
      xmin = 0,
      xmax = 6,
      legend image post style={scale=3},
      legend style = {
        legend cell align=left,
        %mark options={scale=3},
        /tikz/every even column/.append style={column sep=1cm}
    }]

      \addplot[red,mark=*,only marks,mark size=1]  table {
      x y
      1 2
      2 4
      4 3
    };
    \addplot[blue,mark=triangle,only marks,mark size=1,mark options={rotate=180}]  table {
              x y
              1 1
              2 2
              4 1
            };

[Tex/LaTex] plotting two time series with bounds

This happens because PGFPlots only uses one "stack" per axis: You're stacking the second confidence interval on top of the first. The easiest way to fix this is probably to use the approach described in "Is there an easy way of using line thickness as error indicator in a plot?": After plotting the first confidence interval, stack the upper bound on top again, using stack dir=minus. That way, the stack will be reset to zero, and you can draw the second confidence interval in the same fashion as the first:

You can use

 y filter/.expression={y==0 ? nan : y}

in the options of \addplot.
