 > I assume this makes it so that the matrix has `0,1,2,3` as opposed to
 putting entries between `0-1`, `1-2`, etc.  I can't check this because the
 branch I'm making for this decided to rebuild documentation, which takes a
 while... sigh.

 Okay, I think that these two things combine to make this happen, after
 reading
 
[http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/ticker_api.html#matplotlib.ticker.MaxNLocator
 this] again.

 I still don't know if I like sparse and dense matrices looking so
 different.  So the idea is that the little circle points indicate sparse,
 while the boxes indicate dense?  I'm thinking of
 {{{
 sage: b=random_matrix(GF(2),12,sparse=True,density=0.99)
 sage: matrix_plot(b)

 sage: b=random_matrix(GF(2),12,density=0.99)
 sage: matrix_plot(b)
 }}}

 Also, my favorite use case doesn't work yet, though to be fair it didn't
 work before, so this shouldn't hold things up (and is a currently open
 ticket).  But just in case, is there a quick way to get this now?  After
 all, one might want the first row to be labeled 1 sometimes!
 {{{
 sage: M = matrix(ZZ,[[1,2,3,4],[1,4,9,16],[1,8,27,64]])
 sage: matrix_plot(M)
 sage: matrix_plot(M,ticks=[1,2,3,4])
 ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input

    1993             from matplotlib.ticker import OldScalarFormatter,
 MaxNLocator, MultipleLocator, FixedLocator, NullLocator, Locator
 -> 1994             x_locator, y_locator = ticks
    1995             if x_locator is None:
    1996                 x_locator = MaxNLocator(**locator_options)

 ValueError: too many values to unpack
 }}}

 I should be able to finish reviewing this later on today.
