[matplotlib-devel] Bug with setp and clim

Hi,
unles I'm doing something stupid, setp is buggy.

I'm creating a bunch of images using imshow and I want the colormap to be
consistent among images. So once they're all drawn, I want to uniformize the
color scale. But

>>> setp(ax.images, clim= [0,1])

does not work because it sets vmin to [0,1] and doesn't affect vmax.

On the other hand,
>>> ax.images[0].set_clim([0,1])

works fine.

Should I file a ticket ?

David

In [1]: ax = axes()

In [2]: ax.imshow(rand(10,10))
Out[2]: <matplotlib.image.AxesImage instance at 0x2aaaad22a830>

In [3]: setp(ax.images, 'clim', [0,1])
