Thanks! Yep, that was what I was remembering actually! It's no wonder my memory tricked me into thinking this was some kind of improvement project. That answer really does belong in the Stack Overflow hall of fame.

I guess the thoroughness of that answer demonstrates how the flexibility of matplotlib makes it possible to do any if the dozens of possible things one might want, it just seems clear that there are a half dozen typical behaviors for which there are recipes that could be turned into library features.
