Not undocumented. In the docs for hist(), it says that it accepts any
parameter that is used for Patch artists. This is also generally true for
many of the other plotting functions. They usually take any additional
keyword arguments that could be passed on to whatever the artist is that is
returned. This isn't a hard-and-fast rule, but it is true more often than
not.
