That is the facecolor of the figure patch, and you can set it like: fig = figure(facecolor='red', edgecolor='white') and also when you save you can set it there, since we have different defaults for display and hardcopy fig.savfig('myfig', facecolor='white', edgecolor='white') both of these defaults can be changed in the matplotlib configuration matplotlibrc (http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc) file using the following settings: figure.figsize : 8, 6 # figure size in inches figure.dpi : 80 # figure dots per inch figure.facecolor : 0.75 # figure facecolor; 0.75 is scalar gray figure.edgecolor : white # figure edgecolor savefig.dpi : 100 # figure dots per inch savefig.facecolor : white # figure facecolor when saving savefig.edgecolor : white # figure edgecolor when saving JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
