I made the FAQ entry code a little more general (and hopefully more robust) a while ago. I don't know if it takes care of the problem you're talking about, though. I posted it to the matplotlib-devel mailing list here: http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-de...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05628.html You're welcome to use it, and if it makes more sense than the FAQ entry, whoever does the FAQ is welcome to include it in the FAQ.
