I ran into a little problem when adding an axis span (both vertical and horizontal) to my plot. When I use the optional keyword arguments, I get an error message:
import pylab
pylab.axhspan(0.25, 0.75, facecolor=‘0.5’, alpha=0.5)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
File “/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py”, line 1572, in axhspan
ret = gca().axhspan(*args, **kwargs)
File “/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/axes.py”, line 2883, in axhspan
self._process_unit_info( [xmin, xmax], [ymin, ymax], **kwargs )
TypeError: _process_unit_info() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘alpha’
Granted, I can get the results I want using the .set_xxx() methods, but my first method should have worked, right?
I’ve never filed a bug for matplotlib before, so I figured I’d send out an email to the users-group first.
Thanks,
Sara

Sara,
Thank you, that is indeed the right thing to do. In addition, please state what matplotlib version you are using. Often, although not in this case, it is also critical to know what operating system you are using, and the numpy version.
You have definitely hit a bug, but it has been fixed--I don't see it in svn. I don't know how long ago it was fixed. A new release of mpl has just come out. Can you upgrade?
Eric
