I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. Axes and Subplot don't have
a _figurePatch, but they do have an _axesPatch, which as you note you
can turn off by using frameon=False. If you want to set it's alpha,
do
ax = subplot(111)
frame = ax.get_frame()
frame.set_alpha(0.0)
Is this what you are looking for?
