If nobody speaks up, I will take a crack at it, Mark What do you have in mind, a simple convenience function that does def set_backgroundcolor(self, color): """ Set the background color of the text by updating the bbox facecolor ACCEPTS: any matplotlib color """ if self._bbox is None: self._bbox = dict(facecolor=color, edgecolor=color) else: self._bbox.update(dict(facecolor=color)) I'm not too opposed to it, but it does violate the maxim "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." Of course, we violate this throughout mpl offerings lots of convenience functions, but it is something to bear in mind. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
