Elaine,
No, this is not possible in mpl. It has been requested before, and 
there has been some discussion, but I don't think it is high on anyone's 
priority list. Personally, I never used that functionality when I used 
Matlab, so I don't miss it.

Hi all
I'm having trouble installing on OS X. The short story is it looks like
something file is trying to build something for a ppc architecture when I'm
on an Intel mac.
Here's the long story:
First I downloaded the matplotlib-0.99.3-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg file but it
complained that I didn't have numpy 1.1 as the version that comes with OS X
is 1.0.1. So I tried matplotlib-0.91.4-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg but that
complained about not being able to download the matplotlib package.
So then I installed MacPython from the python website, and installed NumPy
from the SciPy website (both of which use standard OS X installation tools),
and installed the easy_install script (because the one that comes with OS X
looks at the built-in python libs not the ones I just installed). Now
running
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/easy_install
~/Downloads/matplotlib-0.98.3-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg
gives a bunch of errors. Full output is below. The line "ld: in
/opt/local/lib/libJPEG.dylib, file is not of required architecture for
architecture ppc" looks suspicious to me, since I'm on an Intel Mac.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a problem with the egg file? Does
anyone have instructions for installing matplotlib successfully on an Intel
Mac? I'm pretty new to python so please forgive me if I'm doing something
silly.

I don't know fedora, but is there a numpy-dev package or something 
similar? You'll need it to install numpy's header files.
