That's right, yes. Currently, bar() does not handle the string 'none' properly; it results in an empty graph. E.g.: bar([1, 2, 3], [12, 13, 14], edgecolor = None) behaves correctly, giving a bar chart with black-edged blue bars. bar([1, 2, 3], [12, 13, 14], edgecolor = 'none') gives no graph at all. After the patch, the second call gives the right result, a bar-chart with border-less blue bars. Same kind of thing with the kwarg 'color' instead of 'edgecolor', which is also fixed in my second recent email. Hope this clarifies things.
