[Matplotlib-users] Combination of a box plot and a histogram

I'd like to make something in between a box plot [1] and a histogram. Each histogram would be represented by a single, tall, rectangular patch (like the box in a box plot), and the patch would be subdivided by the bin edges of the histogram. The face color of each sub-patch would replace the bar

[Matplotlib-users] errorbar plot requires hold=True

When I use the errorbar() routine to plot data, unless I set hold=True as a kwarg (or set it globally), the data are plotted without the errorbars. I believe it is because the routine first plots the error bars, then overplots the data points and for some reason the routine is clearing the axis

[Matplotlib-users] Interactively Changing or removing selected parts of a figure

Context: I am using ipython -pylab for interactive figure drawing. I understand that clf() will erase everything, and cla() will empty the interior of the square plot in the last subfigure. But I can't see how to clear the first subfigure or the colorbar. Any changes to the colorbar -- for exa
