Hello,
I just tried out the wxpython backend from the CVS and it seems to work
as advertised, except a small glitch.
I had matplotlib installed in another location, not under the default
python main tree and use the environmental variable AFMPATH to point to
the afm fonts files. The backend_wx(.py) relies on
distutils.sysconfig.PREFIX to find the GUI bitmap files. Adding the
following 2 lines
if os.environ.has_key('AFMPATH'):
basedir = os.environ['AFMPATH']
after the line
basedir = os.path.join(distutils.sysconfig.PREFIX, 'share', 'matplotlib')
in the function _load_bitmap(filename) will enable it to locate the
bitmap files which are installed together with the afm font files. (As
AFMPATH points to more than font resources, a more appropriate name such
as MATPLOTLIBRESOURCE may be warranted, though changing it will break
old installations. I'm happy to let it stay as it is.)
Regards,
ST
