I do a lot of this work on the train in and out of work -- have to be
careful running table_demo.py in case anyone is watching the screen.

I've attached my version of axes.py.

Thanks for the axes tip -- that is much better.

One other glitch that is showing up is when I resize the window (I'm
using the GTK backend) for table_demo2.py the table with the row labels
goes out of alignment with the other table -- any ideas what is causing
that?

I like the coloured patches with text idea -- i'll do some experiments
and see how it looks.  One thought I had is to turn the colours into
light pastel shades so that dark text still stands out.
