Protocol for unanswered queries on this list?

Hi

I appreciate that this is a totally voluntary support list, but
I was wondering what the protocol was when queries that
I have posted go unanswered...

Should I -
(a) repost them "as is"?
(b) rewrite them slightly and post them again
(c) assume no one has any interest in answering them (and give up)
(d) something else??

The queries I am referring to are:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=38032560
and
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=38021694

(The latter especially, I am sure is within matplotlib current
capabilities... and a hint or two will set me on the right track!)

Thanks
Derek

Probably the best approach.

I had a quick look and for the first part of the second question:

(a) what is the syntax for the fill() command - I have tried
ax.fill(0.5,0.5,'b') and get an error:
TypeError: zip argument #1 must support iteration

The TypeError is saying that the argument expected should be a Python type supporting iteration, such as a numpy array, a list or a tuple. i.e. this produces a rectangle:

ax.fill([1,1,2,2],[3,4,4,3],'b')

where the two lists contain the x- and y-coordinate polygon vertices, respectively, ordered clockwise from the lower left.

It would take me a bit of mucking around to work out what the bar coordinates are - hopefully an expert will pipe in with the answer. You probably need to work out how to apply the get_verts method to the patch collection. I find using ipython interactively is the best way to learn to do this.
