There is already a set_gid method, so I guess generalizing this to any (attribute, value) pair should not be too hard. On the other hand, what would also help is more hierarchy within the svg tree. At the moment, a group is created for figure, axes, axis, legend and collections (from a quick overview, maybe there are others.) However, since histogram returns flat patches instead of a collection of patches, we need to loop through all bar patches to set their properties. If histogram returned one patchcollection per variable, we could address this group directly instead of the individual elements. > But that will require some careful design > consideration etc. to get it done.
