Comment 6 for bug 339754

You're not being too pushy. Please keep the bugs coming.

About the bug itself now. On revision 31 background=None now means transparent background but the default is still the white to light_gray background. Background can now be changed using two other methods:

background = "red" #or any other color name
background = "red white blue" #or any other combination of colors separated by space

The first option will set that solid_color as the background. The second one will create a new linear_gradient object using the colors passed and use it as background.

Concerning the idea of a cairoplot.default_background, I'll postpone it for a while until I give its consequences further thought.

Thanks for all these ideas! :D
