Thanks a lot, Eric! It looks OK here, I'll report if I find anything
else out of place.

Fernando,
I think I have fixed that problem and committed it to svn. I expect 
there is still more to be done to make the handling of colors and 'none' 
more consistent throughout mpl, but this is a start.

Stefan,
It doesn't on my machine with backend GtkAgg, and I have never seen this 
behavior. What backend are you using?

Hi all,
I noticed that, contrary to what the docstring says,
contourf(Z,10)
draws contour lines on the different levels.
The attached patch adds a draw_contours keyword that explicitly
controls this behaviour. I don't know why it works (I set linewidths
to 1 and the lines disappear?!), but it gives some idea of what I
needed.
Could someone update the docstring, or fix the broken behaviour?
Thanks
Stéfan

I noticed this a few days ago as well...using edgecolors='None' seemed 
to have the same effect as faceted=False. This brings up a couple issues.
1) I find the shading=* in the docstring to be a bit confusing. The 
equal sign makes me think of keyword arguments. Since 'shading' is not a 
valid keyword, additional clarity might result if we do not use the 
equal sign.
2) If we remove the equal signs, we might have something like this:
 This kwarg is deprecated;
 please use the edgecolors kwarg instead:
 flat shading --> edgecolors='None'
 faceted shading --> edgecolors=None
But even this is confusing. Reading
http://www.physnet.uni-hamburg.de/physnet/matlab/help/techdoc/ref/shading.html
makes me think we should have:
 This kwarg is deprecated;
 please use the edgecolors kwarg instead:
 flat shading --> edgecolors=None
 For faceted shading, edgecolors can be any mpl color or sequence 
of colors.
---
So it seems like the code is working, but that the docstring is wrong. 
Perhaps the behavior should be changed so that edgecolors must be set to 
None rather than 'None' when requesting flat shading.

Thanks for the prompt response, Eric. For now I can fortunately use
faceted, but I'll keep an eye out on the list for updates to test.

Fernando,
Thanks for the bug report. I see what the problem is. Unless someone 
else wants to do it (in which case please do so, but tell me you will), 
I can fix it within a few days at the most, and possibly later today.

Hi all,
the scatter docstring says:
 * faceted: if True, will use the default edgecolor for the
 markers. If False, will set the edgecolors to be the same
 as the facecolors.
 This kwarg is deprecated;
 please use the edgecolors kwarg instead:
 shading='flat' --> edgecolors='None'
 shading='faceted --> edgecolors=None
However (running MPL from SVN here):
In [90]: scatter(range(10),range(10),edgecolors=None)
ends with
/home/fperez/usr/opt/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/collections.pyc
in set_edgecolor(self, c)
 303 self._edgecolors = npy.array([])
 304 else:
--> 305 self._edgecolors = _colors.colorConverter.to_rgba_array(c)
 306 set_edgecolors = set_edgecolor
 307
/home/fperez/usr/opt/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/colors.pyc
in to_rgba_array(self, c, alpha)
 323 # it. This is needed for examples/dynamic_collections.py.
 324 if not isinstance(c, (list, npy.ndarray)): #
specific; don't need duck-typing
--> 325 c = list(c)
 326 for i, cc in enumerate(c):
 327 c[i] = self.to_rgba(cc, alpha) # change in place
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
f
ps - for now, using the deprecated 'faceted=False' seems to still
work, so I'll go with that.
