Re: [Matplotlib-users] Using matplotlib pythonic API

John,

thanks for your very quick response.

sorry i did not explain fully.  due to the asynchronous nature of the 
twisted framework, most blocking operations are generally executed 
inside threads, or at least, they are in my case.

thank you, and indeed i am confused, however i am using matplotlib 
0.60.2, and here is the method declaration for Figure's __init__ (from 
matplotlib/figure.py):

class Figure(Artist):

     def __init__(self,
                  figsize   = None, # defaults to rc figure.figsize
                  dpi       = None, # defaults to rc figure.dpi
                  facecolor = None, # defaults to rc figure.facecolor
                  edgecolor = None, # defaults to rc figure.edgecolor
                  frameon = True,
                  ):

also in 0.60.2 i noticed that ticker.DayMultiLocator is used on line 
1518 of matplotlib/axes.py but is not imported

the example you sent looks to be most helpful, thanks for taking the 
time to help me out.
