Re: [Matplotlib-users] Set Figure's position

[Eli G. <eg...@se...>]

Thanks, John!  That's exactly what I was looking for

I'm using the WX backend and I was able to do:

    figure(1)
    plot([1,2,3])
    manager = get_current_fig_manager()

    manager.window.SetPosition((100,100))

#or

    manager.window.Centre()
