Thanks.

Here is another try inspired from:

By the way, the matplotlib gallery (from the website) is incredibly useful when you need to know how to do something quickly, but the lack of organization in the different figures make search sometimes difficult. Maybe a rough structure (1D/2D/3D, plot/bars/imshow ...) in the examples could be even more useful as well as carefully choosing relevant examples (for example, the filledmarker_demo produces 12 figures that are more or less the same) ?

Here is the script:

I agree, very instructional example.
As for the width of the tick lines, line 78
    line.set_linewidth(1)
should probably read
    line.set_markeredgewidth(1)
though.

I just had an epiphany and figured out what is causing this.  It looks like
that any example that uses the "if __name__ == '__main__' :" idiom is
failing to produce an image.  Some others that have the same issue are:

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/sankey_demo.html
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/hinton_demo.html
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/api/logo2.html (it has a link,
but no image on the page)
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/misc/multiprocess.html
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/arrow_demo.html

and many others (can be found by grepping for "__main__" in the examples
folder).

On a local build of the docs from master, axes_grid has two demos that also
fail to produce images for the docs.  They look to be new demos.

I wonder if this is being caused (or at least the errors hidden by) the new
multiprocessing approach for the doc-build.  Anybody have any thoughts on
how to deal with this?  I consider this a release-stopper.
