[matplotlib-devel] Fwd: Patch for errorbar, alpha kw did not apply to lines and cap markers

[Hans D. <han...@ki...>]

Hi again,

I send this patch to the mailing list two weeks ago and did not get any 
response. If you reject it, could you please explain why or how I should 
improve?

Best regards.

Hi matplotlib developers,

this is my first commit to matplotlib. I am using it heavily in a
scientific context. I followed the How-to and send you an according
patch for what I consider a bug. If it doesn't make sense, please be
lenient with me for now, since it my first time. : )

As described in the subject line, I made the alpha keyword in the
errorbar command act also on the error bars and not only on the markers.
The previous behaviour seemed inconsistent.

Cheers,
Hans
