+1 also from me for this type of solution.

It is good to be consequent here. However, being really consequent,
the whole graph/plot naming comes into question. A "graph" in
mathematical terminology is the graphical representation of a function
or the solution of an equation. In my personal naming scheme what is a
"graph" in PyX would rather be a figure or a plot. Then, one would
create a graph in a plot and not plot in a graph, as it is at the
moment. ;-) Just a nightly thought.
