I don't' think mpl is the perfect tool for this kind of thing. You could 
probably make it work, but that's not what it's designed for. Do you 
have a GUI toolkit in mind?

If wxPython: FloatCanvas or OGL would probably work well.

If tkInter: The tk Canvas is very flexible, and I wouldn't be surprised 
if someone has written a tool on top of it to help with this sort of thing.

If GTK or QT: I have no idea, but I"d look -- I'll bet there is something.

If paper copy: check out ReportLab for pdf generating.
