That selection is written into the default matplotlibrc file, which resides in site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data. If matplotlib finds another matplotlibrc file (for example, in the current working directory, in $HOME/.matplotlib, etc), then it will use those settings instead. I would guess that is the source of the problem. Darren ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
