[Matplotlib-users] wx and matplotlib

[Werner F. B. <wer...@fr...>]

I am trying to put together a wxPython frame using py.aui to show 
multiple matplotlib.figures/canvas.

Would like that each figure takes x percentage of available screen 
estate.  I.e. would like e.g. to have 2 rows with 3 columns of 
figures/statistics, i.e. 6 graphics.

If the total screen estate is too small then there should be scrollbars 
per figure/canvas.

Hopefully some samples code (in the example files which existed in 
0.90.x) can put me in the right direction, otherwise I will try to put 
together a stand alone sample (without access to my database) to show my 
problem.

I'd recommend you take a look at wxMPL -- it's a nice way to embed MPL 
in wx.

To be clear with the vocabulary -- in MPL, a "figure" would be one 
wxWindow. In that you can put multiple "axes" which show the actual 
plots (sometimes referred to as subplots). In this case, I'm not sure if 
you want more than one MPL figure.

If you want multiple figures, than this isn't really an MPL question. 
You'd do that layout the same way you would with any other set of 
wxWindows -- probably putting them all on a wxScrolledWindow, in Sizers, 
and giving them a minimum size.

With a single MPL Figure, it would be similar, put it on 
wxScrolledWindows, with a minimum size set.

Is this what you are looking for?

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/index.html

in particular, you might want to look at the wx examples here:

I'll have a look at this.

I am not sure yet if multiple axes/subplots is the way to go or to have
multiple figures.  I was leaning towards multiple figures, each a pane
in AUI, to allow the user to size them how they want.

O.K. will play with this.  In the mean time I found also some sample
code from the matplotlib doc/gallery (great piece of documentation!!!!!).

Yes, this is what I was looking for.  Although it is a pity that these
do not have the sample graph as is shown in the gallery - but looking at
both I think I should find what I need.

Thanks for the tips
