[Matplotlib-users] barh gives me: ValueError: frames are not aligned

Hi Fine Matplotlib folks,

I'm getting this error message and I can figure it out:

Traceback (most recent call last):
...
  File "C:\automated tasks\GMVIEW-DEV\chart_gen.debug.py", line 26, in ?
    p1 =3D figure.gca().barh(ind, ddata['value'], width, color=3D'r')
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\axes.py", line 2499, in ba=
rh
    bottom =3D y - height/2.
ValueError: frames are not aligned

Here is the relevant code:
<code>
from __future__ import division
import os,sys
import datetime
import tempfile
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')  # force the antigrain backend
from matplotlib.dates import YearLocator, MonthLocator,
WeekdayLocator, DateFormatter, date2num
from matplotlib import rc
from matplotlib.backends.backend_agg import FigureCanvasAgg
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
from matplotlib.cbook import iterable

ddata=3D{'label': ['REP1', 'REP2', 'REP3', 'REP4', 'REP5'], 'type':

'50.00'], 'money_format': '1', 'title': 'Sales from 2006-08-01 to

height,width=3D3,4
figure =3D Figure(figsize=3D(width,height))
ax =3D figure.add_axes([0.2, 0.3, 0.7, 0.6])
from Numeric import arange #makes arrays
N=3Dlen(ddata['value'])
ind =3D arange(N)  # the x locations for the groups
width=3D(figure.get_size_inches()[0]/len(ddata['value']))
width_gap=3D(.3*width)
width=3Dwidth-width_gap  # the width of the bars

#OFFENDING LINE
p1 =3D figure.gca().barh(ind, ddata['value'], width, color=3D'r')

figure.gca().set_ylabel('$Amount')
if title:
    figure.gca().set_title('title', bbox=3D{'facecolor':'0.8', 'pad':5})
locs =3D figure.gca().set_xticks(ind+width_gap)
labels =3D figure.gca().set_xticklabels(ddata['label'])
figure.gca().set_xlim(-width,len(ind))
#try to autoscale here
y_height=3Dmax(ddata['value'])+.2*max(ddata['value'])
y_increment=3Dround(y_height/5,-1)
figure.gca().set_yticks(arange(0,y_height,y_increment))
canvas =3D FigureCanvasAgg(figure)
</code>

any help is greatly appriciated!
