Hi John, Yes, that is true if the data is truly gaussian. In my case, I know that the data have non-gaussian tails which tend to dominate the calculation of the standard deviation. I should have been clearer in my post that what I actually wanted to do was fit a gaussian to the truncated "central"

Unfortunately, at present you can't. The figure referencing in Sphinx works because there is a hard-coded phase to match labels to figures (which doesn't know about plots). I think the matplotlib plot directive needs to write such a phase at well (should be possible using Sphinx event hooks)
