Thread: [Matplotlib-users] default shading for pcolor

Consistent with matlab, the default shading for pcolor in matplotlib and 
pylab is 'faceted', which puts black lines around all the 
quadrilaterals.  Some users (e.g., Rob Hetland and myself) never want 
this; are there users who *do* want to keep this default?  I suspect so, 
in which case the solution will be an rcParams entry, but I would like 
confirmation of this.  Also, if we need the rcParams entry but *almost* 
all users want the default to be "flat" (no boundary lines), then we can 
make that the default value of the rcParams entry.

Please advise.

Thanks.

+1 for default 'flat' (either way)

Default flat would be great. The default faceted has always been a pain.
