Hi, I was checking out matplotlib, and tried running the example shown on the front page (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/), but no window showed itself. I had to look through the examples files to find out how to make it work: it needed a show() command at the end. I think that the example should be complete enough for the prospective user to actually get a pretty picture... not just leave one hanging with <a list of 100 Patch objects> Thanks, -Thomas
