Hi all, I ran into a problem where I wanted to plot a step-plot with dashed lines instead of solid lines which can be important for print media. This isn't possible with the current matplotlib version, so I added support for this. The patch is attached, but I didn't commit it yet since I wanted to ask for feedback first. It basically adds support to do pylab.plot(x, y, 'steps--') to create a step plot with dashed lines. mm
