Thanks for the help. However, when I change the matplotlibrc file I get the following message "Bad key "path.simplify" on line 267 in /HOME/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc. You probably need to get an updated matplotlibrc file from http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc or from the matplotlib source distribution"
