I agree with you. I've already posted something about this issue some time ago: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=37418828 > I'm willing to implement either one. Which do you prefer ? I think we should prefer the first alternative: I've made a quick grep through matplotlib's code and I've observed that each time get_charmap is called, the returned dict is never used as is, but immediately reversed. -- Nicolas Grilly ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
