There are some examples using a custom toolbar which depends on which
user interface you are using (there is no API for customizing from
withing pylab/pyplot but it is on the wishlist to have a toolbar
customization/extension API)

See for example
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/user_interfaces/embedding_in_wx4.html?highlight=codex%20custom%20toolbar

In this example a button is added to the default toolbar.  You could
copy the toolbar code out of the backend and remove the things you do
not want and then add new buttons, etc.
