[Matplotlib-users] change in color handling (or bug in 0.90.1) ?

[Mark B. <ma...@gm...>]

Hello -

This used to work:
fill( [0,1,1], [0,0,1], '#FFFF66')

But it doesn't work anymore under 0.90.1.
I thought it still worked under 0.90.0

Anybody see the same problem?
Plot seems to have the same problem:
plot([1,2,3],'#afeeee')

Error message for the plot statement:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#11>", line 1, in ?
    plot([1,2,3],'#afeeee')
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pylab.py", line 2028, in

    ret =  gca().plot(*args, **kwargs)
