Argg, the dreaded frame/patch rears it's ugly head. Eric, did you add
the deprecation warning? It seems to me we could use set/get frame to
set the frame attr and set/get patch to set the patch attr to support
people used to the matlab idiom as in the tutorial above.

Hi,
 I think the section Controlling axes properties of 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html needs to be updated, since
 frame = gca(gca(), 'frame')
 setp(frame, 'linewidth', 2)
doesn't work any more with mpl 0.98.x ...
Manuel

Thanks. This should be fixed in r5979. It seems to work fine over the 
backend_driver tests now.
Cheers,
Mike

Mike,
Try contour_demo and contourf_demo--I think you will find that r5976 has 
whacked them both. I don't know how. I have not looked closely.

Hey Darren,
You may want to take a look at the examples/units/basic_units.py
module which is a poor-man's unit implementation. As a units package,
it's mostly worthless, and is used primarily for testing. But it will
show you how to connect to the mpl unit support to make your unit
arrays work with mpl (which can be done outside of mpl as in the
basic_units module or inside as in the dates support in the dates
module) usin the units registry. Of course, the support for custom
types is incomplete and limited to a few functions (notably plot), and
I have been promising to clarify the units API and requirements, but
in the meantime you might want to experiment with it to see how the
existing framework works with your package.
In terms of clarifying the units requirements, I have been thinking
about it a fair amount and I think this time has been fruitful, but I
haven't committed anything to paper yet.
