Your drawing function looks fine.  Could this be a problem with axes
limits.  Make sure the x and y limits are set properly with the xlim,
ylim or axis commands.  The limits are normally autoscaled by calling
plot, but you are not using it so you have to take care that the
limits are set.  After you get a working prototype, I can help you
with the autoscaling part.

If this doesn't fix your problem, email me your matlab.py, axes.py and
test code as attachments off-list and I'll take a look.
