[Matplotlib-users] No resizing of figures

[Tommy G. <tg...@ma...>]

Is there a keyword or a function to lock the figures so that they can  
not be resized?

[Matplotlib-users] Weird resizing issue

[Tommy G. <tg...@ma...>]

I am using matplotlib to display a couple of fits-images and then use
the mouse to select a source in the image. However, when I click on
the window containing the image to get it into focus the window starts
resizing itself based on the movement of the mouse. I am on a mac
with OS 10.4 and are using TkAgg. Has anyone seen this before and
know how to avoid it from happening?

Cheers

I see weird behaviour like this in Windows too. In my case, the 
horizontal size of the plot window increases as the pointer is moved 
inside a plot region. i.e. the aspect ratio of the window changes 
erratically, I think between two sizes. Sometimes it remains at the 
incorrect shape when the mouse pointer is shifted outside the plot area 
and sometimes it pops back to the correct shape. Is this the behaviour 
you see? I don't know how to avoid it. I noticed that shifting the 
pointer out of the plot area by moving through the bottom of the window 
seems to avoid the possibility of the window remaining with the 
incorrect aspect. I seem to remember seeing this behaviour on an old 
version of matplotlib. I thought it disappeared and has perhaps 
returned. My memory is hazy on this.

I also see this behavior in the qtagg and qt4agg backends.

This is the same behavior that I see. The window resizes horisontally  
when
the pointer is inside the window, although the window behaves  
erratically as
it resizes. Moving the pointer to the right will cause the window to  
grow then
reduce size as you go further right. As soon as the pointer leaves  
the window
the resizing stops. And it only happens while the window is in focus.

Is this related to the pointer coordinates shown in the lower-right
corner of the window? I.e., when you move the pointer right, perhaps
the x-coordinate becomes a longer number and the window is enlarged to
accommodate it. I remember seeing behavior like this on some old
version of Matplotlib (probably TkAgg backend on OS X) but cannot
reproduce it now.

That looks like the problem. If you click the zoom widget in qt4agg, 
then "zoom to rect mode" also appears on that line, forcing the width of the 
window to increase even further.

This was the problem. I fixed it in the qt backends by setting the label's 
resize policy to ignore the sizing hints. 

(I'm sorry if this is the second time this message gets posted.)

I fixed this problem for the qt backends. The coordinates of the cursor are 
rendered in a label, and the resize policy of the label needs to be set so it 
doesnt try to grow to accomodate the long string.
