better yet would be to replace the list of rectangles with a patch
collection, do the same for pie, etc. Then a single URL on the
collection would apply to the batch. This would break a fair amount
of code, but we might be able to minimize the pain by providing an
iter interface and a getitem interface to the collection, which warns
and does the right thing. So users who did
# bars was a list of Rectangles, now it is a PatchCollection
for bar in bars:
bar.set_facecolor('red')
would get working code and a warning telling them to just do
bars.set_facecolors instead.
And, yes, the example is *very cool*
