[Matplotlib-users] Is it planned to add copy/paste curves possibility in matplotlib ?

[Julien H. <jul...@gm...>]

Dear all,

We're, at our lab, trying to (slowly) make the transition from a famous
(but expansive) numerical software to Python.

The most recurring remark made against the use of Python/Matplotlib instead
of this famous software is the fact that one cannot male simple
click/copy/paste of a curve from a figure into another.

I guess this heavily depends of the backend used, or of the OS. So my
question is probably naive, but anyway :
is there a plan to add an interactive way to select one or more curves from
a matplotlib figure and to copy/paste them into a another figure ?

It is, I think, a killing feature for many beginners/average users who used
to work with matlab (oups, I've said it).

Best regards,

Julien
