[Matplotlib-users] savefig.edgecolor not working

[Samuel M. S. <sm...@sa...>]

I recently upgraded matplotlib 87.7 Mac OS X PPC 10.4 python 2.4 from  
sourceforge binary
Using backend TkAgg version 8.4


Whenever I save png plots using the toolbar save button or explicitly,
  the edgecolor around the outside of the plot is gray. I want it to  
be white.

I have the following in my rc file.
savefig.edgecolor : white    # figure edgecolor when saving

I also tried this in my plotting program
rc('savefig',edgecolor = 'w')

and I also tried saving from the plotting program with
savefig("paths4test.png",edgecolor= 'w')

Nothing seems to work.

I didn't have this problem with Matplotlib 85.x
