[Matplotlib-users] backend compatibility

[Flavio C. C. <fcc...@fi...>]

Hi John et al.,

I know that the development of a wx backend is under way.

But meanwhile, can any of the non GTK backends (PS and GD) be used from
within a wx app?

I suspect that the answer to this question is no because the mere import
of matplotlib.matlab from any wxpython shell (like pycrust) will crash
it.  But I don't want to assume that before I am certain of it.

do the PS & GD backend support the show()  command? i.e., can they be
easily displayed on the screen or are they geared towards saving and
printing?

thanks
