Well, I guess that's good enough for me. :) It's a bit unfortunate that the type() function wouldn't spit out this information, though. When for example iterating through the output of get_children() (iterating through a list of objects of unknown classes that is), would there be any other way (function, method?) to get more info on the matplotlib object?
