You problem isn't with colon indexing, but with the interpretation of the
arguments to plot. multiple calls to plot with scalar arguments do not have
the same result as a single call with array arguments. For this to work as
intended, you would need plt.hold(True), for starters, and maybe there are
other subtleties.
