[Matplotlib-users] wxpython matplotlib figure resize

[Joshua K. <jjk...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I am currently trying to use matplotlib with wxPython and all is going well except for one annoying issue that I can't figure out. 

I initialize a wxcanvas object with a figure and then throughout the life of the program I want the canvas' figure to change and display the corresponding plot. I can get the change of figure, but when the program goes to plot, the figure isn't the right size. It changes to the right size only when I manually resize the figure (see attached images). Is there some command that I am missing? This is the update sequence I am using:

self.figure = figure
        
        self.canvas.figure.clear()
        self.canvas.figure = self.figure
        self.canvas.draw()
        self.color_background()
        
        #self.GetParent().Layout()
        #self.SetSizer(self.main_sizer)
        #self.Fit()
        self.SendSizeEvent()

As you can tell from the comments (there are more in my code), I have tried a variety of ways to update the figure off the bat.

Thanks!

Josh
