Re: [Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib Widget and QT Issue

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

I think you'll need to manually set the color of the figure.  I.e., 
given a figure object "fig":

fig.set_facecolor(...whatever Qt API gives you the default background 
color...)

You could also experiment with

fig.set_frameon(False)

which will not draw a background rectangle at all for the figure -- but 
that could cause overdrawing problems (possibly, haven't tried it).
