I think it has not been resolved. I am not so familiar with the mpl's color
handling code, and I need to turn to "official business" for the rest of the
day. John or Eric, do you have time to look into this? The string 'None' is
supposedly a valid argument, but:
In [1]: plot([1,2])
Out[1]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D instance at 0x2b18a14228c0>]
In [2]: savefig('dsd.png', facecolor='None', edgecolor='None')

Hi Darren, John, Eric,
Has the issue regarding, edgecolor='None', been resolved or is this
still work in progress.I am busy with a presentation using LaTeX's Beamer class with a
"corporate gradiented grayish background".With matplotlib and facecolor=None it almost looks nice, except for the
white edgecolor sticking out on the left of the graph, see attached PDF.As edgecolor=None isn't working, is there another way of getting rid of
this white edge....?
