Re: [matplotlib-devel] Kivy backend

[Thomas C. <tca...@gm...>]

Achyut,

Thank your for your interest, mpl on touch devices sounds super cool!

The easiest course is probably to develop a backend modeled after the
{qt,wx,gtk}Agg backends which embed an Agg backend into the gui framework
of choice.  In those cases we rely on Agg to handle the mpl specific
drawing tasks and then embed the resulting bitmap into the GUI.  A majority
of the work in the gui backends deals window/widget creation and the
plumbing required to convert interaction events from the GUI into the
internal events mpl uses.
