[Matplotlib-users] line width adjustments

[James B. <bo...@ll...>]

I would like to be able to change the width of a line.  If I just use 
B/W the use of line widths and styles can differentiate a number of 
lines. Currently, I do this:
         p =       plot(datar,-1.0*(pr),'b')
         p.extend( plot(datac,-1.0*(pc),'r--'))
         p[0].set_linewidth(2)
         p[1].set_linewidth(3)

Is this the way to do this? or is there something more eleganf. It 
might be useful for the third argument to have color, style and width.

I have not been able to figure out how to change the line thickness of 
the axis frame, i.e. the x and y axis themselves. There are examples 
for the grid, if one is used, and the tick marks but not the frame 
itself.

Thanks for any help.
