Re: [Matplotlib-users] Control the position of a figure window

[Jianbao T. <jia...@gm...>]

Ben,

Thanks for your reply. :-)

This first link you mentioned seems to be a workaround. However, I am
wondering if there is a way to set the position before the figure window is
realized. Besides, the solution in the first link uses
pyplot.get_current_fig_manager(). However, I don't see a counterpart of the
figure manager in the matplotlib classes. From a developer perspective, it
would be great if you can control the figure position during the
initialization of the figure window, i.e., before there is any current
figure window. However, I don't know if this is too much for now for
matplotlib development.

Cheers,
Jianbao
