Thanks for the quick response and a useful hint!

I apparently didn't search for the right terms before...
I turns out, that
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/user_interfaces/embedding_in_wx2.html
shows exactly, what I need.

By the way is there a place to propose a small correction of the example code?
namely
        self.SetBackgroundColour(wx.NamedColor("WHITE"))

causes an error in wxpython 2.9, which removed the "...Color" aliases
and only knows "...Colour"
hence:

        self.SetBackgroundColour(wx.NamedColour("WHITE"))

works in wxpython 2.9 and should be backwards compatible too.

Thanks again,
