[Matplotlib-users] Making the Axes Plot Area Transparent Rather than having Color

2006-08-04 Thread Richard House
I am trying to make a transparent chart and have managed to make the frame area 
transparent using frameon(False). However I can't find out how to make the plot 
area background on the chart transparent, without using a graphics package to 
process the matplotlib produced image. I have searched the mailing list and 
documentation but haven't found any information on the subject.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Regards,
Richard

gca().axesPatch.set_alpha(0.0)

Thanks for that Charlie. It works, but removes the axes plot area border so the 
x and y axes have no solid line. Is there a simple way to avoid that or do I 
need to plot the axes as lines?
