Hi folks,
Is there an OO way to get pyplot.axhline() ?
I found Axes.hlines, but it's not as convienent for doing a quick horizontal line all the way across the axes: I need to specify the x coords.
thanks,
-Chris

Chris,
Maybe it is new, but svn trunk shows that pyplot.axhline is just calling the axes method of the same name.

def axhline(*args, **kwargs):
# allow callers to override the hold state by passing hold=True|False
b = ishold()
h = kwargs.pop('hold', None)
if h is not None:
hold(h)
try:
ret = gca().axhline(*args, **kwargs)
draw_if_interactive()
except:
hold(b)
raise
hold(b)
return ret
if Axes.axhline.__doc__ is not None:
axhline.__doc__ = dedent(Axes.axhline.__doc__) + """

yes, indeed it is -- arrg! sorry about that -- I really do think I looked for that!
I am finding it harder to navigate the API docs than I'd like -- I
m not sure what could be done, however. One thing that might help would be an index of all methods at the top of the class docs -- there is a lot of good stuff in each of the methods docs, so it gets hard to quickly look for a method.
-Thanks, and sorry for the noise,
-Chris

The search tool on the website is actually pretty decent
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/search.html?q=axhline
unlike many search tools at many websites…

1st:
Sorry about the stupid questions -- I was under a lot of time pressure yesterday.

Yes that is very nice -- I'll make sure to try that in the future. However, that only works if you can make a good stab at the name of a method.

So it would still be nice to have a better way to browse the docs.
But the new docs really are looking great!
The truth is, I haven't used MPL for anything of significance for a good while, and I was yesterday able to whip out a bunch of custom plots in short order for an emergency response -- a testament to the wonders of Matplotlib!
by the way, I'm off to PyCon tomorrow -- are you going to be there John? It's in your neighborhood, yes?
