IMHO modifying rcParams is not a good way to use the object-oriented interface. It can be very useful for interactive plotting using the (state-machine) pylab interface, but such non-explicit state can make an object-oriented program difficult to follow. Of course rcParams is needed for things like selecting fonts. > 1) from what I read, I expected a rcParams value to keep if I closed > my app then reopened it.

If you want more detailed control, I think you have to use the keyword arguments (or set the equivalent properties on the line objects). > 3) I didn't see a rcParams object for the scatter() parameters, > markers size, style, color, linewidth etc. Is this possible? I think the patch.* parameters affect the markers created by scatter(). -- Jouni K.
