You can turn off the figure frame entirely fig = figure(frameon=False) Or you can leave the frame on, but set the alpha channel fig = figure() fig.figurePatch.set_alpha(0.1) Does that help? Note you may want to set the alpha of the axesPatch as well ax.axesPatch.set_alpha(0.5) you can do the same for legends, where l is a Legend instance l.legendPatch.set_alpha(0.5) JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
