It's worse than that; it really just doesn't work in any useful way, and it was never intended to do so. Try it: In [1]: fig = gcf() In [2]: fig.add_axes? In [3]: plot([1,2,3]) Out[3]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x335cf10>] In [4]: ax = gca() In [5]: fig2 = figure() In [6]: ax.set_figure(fig2) In [7]: fig2.add_axes(ax) Out[7]: <matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot at 0x333b250> In [8]: ax.plot([3,4,5]) Out[8]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x3368890>] In [9]: draw() Eric > > best, > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > FREE DOWNLOAD - uberSVN with Social Coding for Subversion. > Subversion made easy with a complete admin console.
