Could some of your difficulties could be related to Python's ill memory
management? It keeps a death grip on certain types of allocated memory, 
never freeing it to the OS.  Evan Jones made a patch which 
helped that problem a bit.   His patch has been incorporated into 
Python 2.5:

hello,

I try to have my hist bars inside grids, some bars creep into others..
I create my hist thus:
 bins = nx.arange(1-(0.9/2),max(values))
 n, bins, patches = hist(values, width=0.9)

example:

and I have display problems for axis names, I use : 
xticks(arange(len(names)), names)


if any idea.. thanks :)
