Thanks for all the explanations (I am gradually coming around...) and additional work. Minor points from a quick look at axes.py: a line in spy() got regressed, so I restored it (svn rev 3114); and **kwargs got added to the signatures of set_xlim and set_ylim, but they are not being used--all valid kwargs are explicit. I left this alone because maybe you are planning to pass kwargs through later. > > See if you find the new interface less onerous.

Looks promising. I see the problem, as in the example you pointed out with plotting multiple columns, but I don't have any suggestions yet. > > I've also gotten rid of all the decorators and properties. The code > is not python2.3 compatible. Properties would be OK for 2.3; I was thinking we might want to use them. When a getter and setter already exist, all it takes is the one extra line of code, plus a suitable (unused) name for the property. I decided not to pursue traits (if at all) until we can use the Enthought package as-is. But I think that properties could be converted to traits very easily if we wanted to do that in the future, so starting with properties would not be wasted effort. This is getting a bit off-topic, though. Aha! Now I see that lines.py still has a few properties but they are private.
