[Matplotlib-users] to plot a pixmap in a plot

[Jean-Baptiste C. <Jea...@de...>]

S=E6ll !

I recently discovered the matplotlib project with great pleasure.
It is already fulling many of my wishes linked to python development
However there is a function I would love to have, and it should be straight=
 forward to implement eventhough it is not in the matlab spirit:
- I would like to be able to get a plot based on an existing pixmap
- This way I would be able	 - to get the nice tools provided by the figure,=
 axes, zooming, etc..
					    - keep a consistent presentation 	 of my many plots
- As figures in matlibplot are supposed to be pixmaps in axes this should b=
e fairly easy to implement

instead of havinf plot(x,y) it would be plot(pixmap)

If on top of that I could use the pixmap as a background of other plot, (pl=
ot (pixmap, x,y) it would be even better

Any idea on how this could be done ?
