setp/xticklabel problem

I was able to get it to work by doing something similar. However, the x
coordinate does not show up in the lower right corner of the plot. I am
thinking this might be part of the underlying problem.

Thanks for your help,
Brian

The value of 'pos' is 'None'. See the output:

Ok, what happens if you replace line 177 with this:

if (pos==None) or (pos>=len(self.seq)): return ''

pos = None

That doesnt make any sense to me. Line 152 calls self.__call__ with
only one argument, which means the pos argument is initialized to
none, and an empty string should be returned. We need to know what the

value of pos is, please replace line 178 with this:

        else:
            print pos
            return self.seq[pos]

and post the result.
