You're completely right, I assumed that you fill in some 2-element
vector in *shape*, it was intended as an /argument/.  The function
attemted to be indexed is imported from numpy by matplotlib.pyplot:
There is a code line "from numpy import *".

So, simply put some line somewhere like:

shape = [500, 500]  .

You have to set or have to calculate the figure's shape in pixels
somewhere, because you need it to convert the rgb string back into a
PIL image.  It's not that nice, I know, for your problem?
