I am using numpy 1.7, which I built myself (python3 setup.py build). I had
a chance to look a bit deeper into matplotlib, which in turn forced me to
learn a bit of numpy, and now I see that it probably makes more sense to
use numpy arrays for my data. Since the default for an array is a float,
most users won't encounter the problems I did, but a warning in a FAQ might
solve a few headaches, regardless of how the developers decided to go.
Thanks for your help.
