[Matplotlib-users] TkAgg in a Tkinter GUI frame?

[Gary P. <pa...@in...>]

I've been poking aroung a bit trying to see if I can locate my plots in a
frame in my own Tkinter GUI rather than a stand-alone window.

It looks like it might be possible if I can, for example, extract the frame
instance from a TkAgg plot (or something like that)

Can anyone comment or suggest a route?

Todd, is this easily doable?  Could you write an embedding_in_tk.py
example along the lines of embedding_in_gtk and embedding_in_wx?

The FigureCanvas derived instance in backend_* is meant to be a widget
you could plug into a GUI, but I notice you took a different tack in
backend_tkagg.  The idea behind this is that users may want to embed a
figure as part of a GUI window, eg in a widget container, without
necessarily bringing the toolbar along or using the whole window.
Would this be an easy refactoring of backend_tkagg?

Thanks,
JDH

First an apology.  I didn't see this until late yesterday when Perry
alerted me.  I wasn't subscribed to matplotlib-users.

Frankly, I'm not sure.  I'll try to work it out this afternoon.  I
imagine if it's possible in GTK it's possible in Tk.

I'll try and let you know.

We'll see.

As we all hoped, this was easy and is now in CVS.  I refactored
FigureManagerTkAgg and added FigureCanvasTkAgg to support the new
functionality.  FigureCanvasTkAgg defines get_tk_widget() to return
whatever tk widget is used to implement it. Currently it returns a Tk
canvas but I thought it would be best not to assume that will always be
the case.   Like other Tk widgets,  FigureCanvasTkAgg wants to be told
who its parent widget (master) is at construction time.

This is also in CVS.

Nice work!

In a quick test, the only thing I noticed is that the figure window
does not resize when embedded but does on a normal plot.  I don't know
if this is a bug or a feature :-).  In backend_gtk, I handle the
configure event in the FigureCanvas.

Gary, if you need a src snapshot (the regular CVS mirrors can lag
sometimes by a couple of days), let me know.

I implemented this since you brought it up and I think the new way
qualifies as a feature.  The widget packing can be used to drive either
kind of behavior: resize-able or not-resize-able.  The demo now resizes.

You're welcome!  Anyone interested in TkAgg that hasn't updated since I
last announced changes should do so.  JDH discovered that the toolbar
was broken and I fixed it about an hour or so ago.

Todd
