Yes, but you must explicitly set the transparency on every object you
want to be transparent::

  fig = plt.figure()
  fig.figurePatch.set_alpha(0.5)

  ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
  ax.axesPatch.set_alpha(0.5)

  l, = ax.plot(x, y, alpha=0.8)

  t = ax.set_xlabel('hi', alpha=0.8)

and so on....

I wonder if we should support a global rc alpha....

PS: these kinds of questions are best for the users list.  In general:
"how do I?" or "does such a feature exist?" or "why doesn't this
work?" or "can you add this feature?" should go on users.  "this is
broken in svn" or "will you accept this patch" or "shouldn't the
function x do something else?" and the like should be on the devel
