boilerplate is called manually when you want to add a new function to pyplot, and you manually remove all the lines from pyplot.py from the first instance of # This function was autogenerated by boilerplate.py. Do not edit as # changes will be lost to the end, and replace it with the output of boilerplate.py. We could automate this, or make it better, eg by having boilerplate.py generate some module like _pyplot_boilerplate.py and having pyplot do an import * from that, but for now you can just do it the manual way if you prefer, JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
