What might be happening is that the patch being added has no area. The
logic it is failing in is in the autoscaling section, I believe. This is
why if there are other things already in the plot or with other patches,
then the code works fine because the limits aren't identical.
Still though, I thought we had enough logic checks to prevent this sort of
error. I see you are using Python 2.5, which is older than what we
currently support. Which version of matplotlib are you using?
Cheers!
