Re: [Matplotlib-users] Screen location

[Yo m. H. <miq...@gm...>]

Dear John,

First of all, thanks for your response. When I try this

fig = figure()
fig.canvas.manager.window.move(100,400)

python tells me that window has no attribute move. It's strange because I
can choose many differents attributes like

>>> fig.canvas.manager.window
<Tkinter.Tk instance at 0x019100F8>
>>> fig.canvas.manager.window.attributes
<bound method Tk.wm_attributes of <Tkinter.Tk instance at 0x019100F8>>
>>> fig.canvas.manager.window.frame
<bound method Tk.wm_frame of <Tkinter.Tk instance at 0x019100F8>>

Then I've got a window class from Tk, but not the attriburte move. I need to
install Tkinter apart? Pylab suports differents GUIs. When you install
matplotlib/pylab package wich backends are installed? All?

I know embedding it's a good option, but for the moment it's too much work
for me. I've got not enought time. My programe has got differents modules
that call pylab plots, and a simple GUI which call this modules. I hope I
can move canvas frames. In the future I'll embedding matplotlib with some
package like wxmpl, but in the future.

Thanks again,
Miquel
