Thanks for all the suggestions,

Spines did the trick.

JJ, I would like to be able to contribute more, but my python knowledge is
very limited and I'm still a very Matlab oriented person.

Anyways, maybe people here might be interested in  my recent adventure
trying to learn python. I converted the CSIRO seawater library from matlab
to python.

I know that this is specific for oceanographers, but I saw some of us in
this list.


Thanks again, this list helped my a lot.
