I need a reference to a "How to..." (or a sample code) to changing the color
(Default or otherwise) of the Canvas, when plotting with matplotlib, using
Python 2.5 on Windows.

When creating your figure, just pass the facecolor you want in

fig = figure(facecolor=‘red’)

With an existing figure instance, you can set the facecolor property of the rectangle patch

fig.patch.set_facecolor(‘green’)

or you can set the default ‘figure.facecolor’ property in your matplotlibrc config file

Thanks John,

I was asking the WRONG question.
What is should have asked: How to set the color of the "axisbg"
Luckily I found an example under matplotlib examples: color_demo.py.

Please consider this Thread closed
