Please provide a minimal but complete script that illustrates the
problem; describe what it is in the output that does not match your
expectations. e.g.,
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
z = np.arange(20).reshape(4,5)
plt.contourf(z, levels=[2,3], alpha=0.2, colors='magenta')
plt.savefig("testcontourf_alpha.png")
which produces a pale magenta stripe, as expected, with mpl from github
master.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
