matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

Hello,
I have just chaged over to the Qt4Agg backend so I can use Pierre Raybaut's
addition of editing cuves and parameters (thanks for this functionality). I
have found a small issue. Whenever I apply changes with more than one
trace/curve, the colour of the second curve changes. The example below is
enough to show the issue:
from matplotlib import pyplot
import numpy as np
a = np.random.rand(100)
b =a*1.5
fig = pyplot.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(a)
ax.plot(b)
pyplot.show()
The example above changes second trace from a default of green to a light
green when I use the edit button. Just pressing 'apply' without any changes
should be enough to trigger the change. It appears that the addin is not
getting the correct color from the plot and so apply is appying the
incorrect color back into the plot.
Also if I try to set color for a trace like this:
fig = pyplot.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(a,'r')
pyplot.show()
It works but then when I press the edit curves button, I get:

I am on version 1.0.0 and XP

This seems like more reasonable to me. When I update
/matplotlib/lib/axes.py:
kwargs['linestyle'] = 'steps-' + where -> kwargs['drawstyle'] = 'steps-' +
where
then I get the expected behavior.

Thanks, that works fantastically !
