matplotlib Code

axes_zoom_effect.py modified to use floats (instead of strings) for alpha values

Fix an error importing afm.py.

Simplify plot argument handling code.
The only side effect of the change should be that previously,
plotting multiple columns required that x and y have the same
number of columns, or that one of them have only one column.
Now the plotting simply cycles through the columns of both,
wrapping back to the first column as needed.

In findobj_demo, exclude patches from objects to be colored blue.

Add support for rcParams['mathtext.default'], currently broken due to a suspected bug in mathtex.

Make mathtex an optional dependency. Warn when trying to render math when it is not available.

Plot accepts scalar coordinates, e.g. plot(1, 2, 'r*')
