Ahhh. There we go. > As far as colormapping lines, you can do this using a LineCollection > object. Hmm. I'll have a look at these. Jeff Whitaker suggested them for something else too. I too often feel like I'm just hacking my way around in Matplotlib, without understanding how it is actually "supposed" to be used (i.e. how it was designed to work). Is there an architectural overview floating around somewhere that I'm not aware of? Thanks for the help!
