Custom type recipe doesn't work on Vector{Custom}, as plottype defaults to Scatter

[evetion]

struct Foo
end

function Makie.plot!(plot::Makie.Plot(Foo))
    error("Foo")
end

function Makie.plot!(plot::Makie.Plot{Makie.plot, <:Tuple{Vector{Foo}}})
    error("Foos")
end

foo = Foo()
foos = [foo]

plot(foo)  # error("Foo") ✅ 
plot(foos)  # Conversion failed for Scatter 🔴 

typeof(convert_arguments(Makie.Plot{plot}, [foo])) <: Tuple{Vector{Foo}}  # true

The workaround is to define Makie.plottype(::Vector{Foo}) = Plot{plot}.

Ah, yeah I guess this is working as intended. plot is not actually a plot type. The way it's defined right now is Plot{PlotFunc, ArgTypeTuple} IIRC, and unlike in Plots, plot is not a recipe but rather a convenient function name. Scatter on the other hand is a plot recipe (and a default plot type) so its type is Plot{Makie.scatter, ArgTypeTuple}.

So you would always have to define plottype.
