Re: [Matplotlib-users] Scientific visualisation techniques
You say you tried wx but don't mention wxmpl explicitly - did you try wxmpl (http://agni.phys.iit.edu/~kmcivor/wxmpl/)?

We are trying to output mathematical functions (Fourier transforms, ray tracing etc.) in graphical form and have been very impressed with the ease Matplotlib can do this. However, all attempts to control or modify input to Matplotlib from a GUI (Tkinter, Wx, Jython, PyGTK etc.) have proved fruitless due to seeming incompatibility between these modules, particularly when one distributes any finished product to another platform. I am an experienced Java programmer who needs the portability and free technologies provided by Java (or Python) to distribute our applications and would like to know of the best way to mesh Matplotlib to a GUI creating system. We have experimented with the GUI creation possibilities of Matplotlib itself but these are inadequate for our needs.

A quick googling didn't find them! all attempts to control or modify input to Matplotlib from a GUI (Tkinter, Wx, Jython, PyGTK etc.) have proved fruitless due to seeming incompatibility between these modules, I'm guessing that you're using the pylab interface -- pylab manages the GUI for you -- which is great if you're doing simple interactive plotting, but will not work if you are embedding MPL in a gui -- you need to use the OO interface instead -- see the embedded_in_*** examples. particularly when one distributes any finished product to another platform. This is no harder than with JAVA -- easier I think -- you can completely control the environment if you want -- see py2exe, pyInstaller, py2app, etc. I return to my Java roots where I can easily solve all GUI problems Once you get the hang of Python, I think you'll find that you can solve your GUI problems even more easily! I'm partial to wxPython, but pyQT and pyGTK have their strengths also.
