Thanks a lot for the quick answer, I think it would be cleaner to add the linewidth argument, since most users expect the default to be a black boundary.
FWIW, here is a patch (untested, I'm at home and I don't dare compile Matplotlib on windows). I'll test it somewhere next week. David 2006/12/7, Eric Firing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
John, David,
The problem is indeed the patch boundaries; here is the workaround:
In [2]:bb = bar(arange(500), rand(500))
In [3]:for b in bb: b.set_linewidth(0)
...:
In [4]:draw()
We should probably do something like setting linewidth to zero
automatically if edgecolor is None, so that the existing edgecolor kwarg
can be used to achieve this result. And/or add a linewidth kwarg.
