I'm not sure if adding a patch autoscales the view, try rect = Rectangle((50, 3), 10, 20, facecolor="#aaaaaa") ax.add_patch(rect) ax.set_xlim(0, 100) ax.set_ylim(0, 25) -- Damon McDougall http://www.damon-is-a-geek.com B2.39 Mathematics Institute University of Warwick Coventry West Midlands CV4 7AL United Kingdom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
