Re: [Matplotlib-users] newbie question: type check?

[Nico S. <nic...@gm...>]

Hm.

print type( gca() )
print gca().__class__
print isinstance( gca(), matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplots)

yields

<class 'matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot'>
<class 'matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot'>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./testfunctions.py", line 13, in <module>
    print isinstance( a, matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplots)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'AxesSubplots
