Sorry, quick followup. I did find the gallery example to plot multiple
patches together:
http://matplotlib.org/examples/api/patch_collection.html
That's excellent. Now I guess my question is how best to generalize the
process of turning my objects into patches. I think I will just try to
keep the geometry (ie line --> mpatch.Line) unless anyone has any better
suggestions.
Thanks!
