[matplotlib-devel] fill command

[Andrew S. <str...@as...>]

G'day!

I've implemented a mostly-matlab-compatible "fill" command.  I attach 
it for your pleasure and hopeful inclusion into matplotlib.  (This is 
an extension of our previous email discussion and involved me going and 
using matlab for a bit to get a feel for their API.)

2 points:

1) Is there any reason why the Patch class doesn't have get_xdata() and 
get_ydata() methods?
1b) If not, can we add them and let Axes.add_patch(patch) call 
"self.xaxis.datalim.update(patch.get_xdata())" ?

2) I think there's still a Polygon facecolor bug. John, I thought you 
fixed the Polygon facecolor bug -- my patches.py code matches the 
bugfix you emailed the list, but I still don't get the facecolor with 
the PS, GTK or Agg backends.

Cheers!
Andrew
