hi
i got several answers from some of youn particularyl about differences between plt.... and fig....
i did not have time to understand more deeply all of that
i spent my time creating the 75 figures of my book
some examples :

no i will start understandign better all of that
i have found how to disable automatic resizing of the figure when for example a curve takes too high values in y
lafigure.axis([xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax]) # permet que si qqch d?passe ?a ne perturbe rien ; ouf...
now, i have too questions :
- how can i avoid the grey color of the figure ? i would like it to be blank
the second one in an other mail...

        ???

Vincent,

Which version of Matplotlib are you using exactly? Besides, are you
applying some peculiar style sheet (i.e. calling something like
`plt.style.use(...)` somewhere)? Because I am pretty sure that the
default background color for axes is white (or at least not gray...).

Anyway, if I am correct you should be able to get a white background by
calling

ax.set_facecolor("white")

on (each) of your Axes instances. You could also define it once for all
in (each of) your script(s) by putting

plt.rcParams['axes.facecolor'] = "white"

before creating the figure(s)

Best,
Adrien

PS: please note that I think that the Figure instance (i.e. `fig`,
`lafigure`, etc.) have a similar function/attribute to set the
background color at the figure level.
