if you're building an app i would suggest using the OO interface. There are good examples in the examples directory. But basically you get a figure either by constructing it or using pylab.gcf and you can add_axes to the figure and plot on them. It is much more scalable for an app than the pylab interface.
as for your original question, i'm afraid i've never seen the behavior before and don't have a good answer. --Tom On 1/19/07, Jonathon Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's definitely not the behavior I'm seeing here.
