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
