I'd be willing to put some time in on that... I've not ever contributed code for anything though, so I'll be on a learning curve. I've had this problem myself. I would think a number of columns or a number of rows argument either would work.. just restrict based on one or the other, and if both are given... not sure about that one. What's a sensible way to ignore one or the other? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
