Michael,
Thank you, this sounds good. Although we can deal with it as a patch if
necessary, it would be greatly preferable to see it as a github PR:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/gitwash/git_development.html#git-developmentAre you willing to give that a try?
Eric
Yes i suppose so. Give me a couple of days. I will post a note when done.
cheers,
Michael
