Re: [matplotlib-devel] Gtk3 app that calls matplotlib

[Federico A. <ari...@gm...>]

@Eric
But this imposses alot of restrictions?
I want to have the GUI backend with the toolbar and everything.
If I do it like you propose, I have to create the figures on the side
when calling from a ipython session. and when calling from my gtk app,
I have to create by hand everything even the toolbars etc...

@Tom, I agree that the problem is within the figure manager.
That is why I asked about the "unbalanced" ways to call Gtk.main and
Gtk.main_quit

I was checking https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2503 but
I think the solution proposed there does not help me.

As you know I am trying to get the multi-figure-manager accepted or at
least reviewed,
At the end, if the only way to use a nice GUI backend is without
calling it from other GUI, it does not help to have a nice GUI
backend, you will have to redoit anyway.
