Re: [Matplotlib-users] Label text alignment problem?

[Bogdan M. <bog...@gm...>]

    Thank you, John. I thought I was lost to PyPlot too, but ... well,
matplotlib is just too cool :) So I struggled a bit and I managed to
get a print of the graph by first saving it to a file and then
printing the file. It actually woks on wxPython 2.5.2.2, I don't
expect it to work with 2.5.1.5. I imagine that some people will
benefit from this code and I'd be more than happy to give my share to
matplotlib. So please let me know how should I send my code. IF I
should send it :) I'll do it tomorrow if everything is OK, I'm
exhausted today.
