Thanks Angus. I tried this out ... it works once and only once! BTW, The correct thing to do is res=fig.gca() res.fmt_xdata=foo() #instead of format_xdata res.fmt_ydata=foo()
although, like I said, it only first for the first event. Somehow res.fmt_xdata is getting set back to None Mathew Angus McMorland wrote: > Hi Mathew, > > 2008/10/13 Mathew Yeates <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> > > Okay, I've gotten this far.
