Hi, I apologize if this isn't the right forum for this email; I'm not actually a matplotlib developer.
I was trying to use custom icons for the mpl Wx backend, but the version of mpl I was using had a _load_bitmap method that only read xpm bitmaps. This requirement is enforced by the wx.BITMAP_TYPE_XPM flag on: line 1398 of backend_wx.py in trunk line 1458 of backend_wx.py in v0_91_maint The default flag wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY allows wx to autodetect the format. Deleting the wx. BITMAP_TYPE_XPM argument allows me to change to toolbar icons to png files. I noticed that the trunk and v0_91_maint versions of mpl have a _load_pngicon method to load png icons. This additional method seems unnecessary (or am I missing something) if the offending argument is deleted. One final note: I made some new icons for the toolbars of the plot windows. I'm not sure if many people would be interested in them since I've made them following a OS X aesthetic (also, I replaced the home icon with a reload icon because that made more sense to me). In any case, I'd like to make these available as an alternative, but I'm not sure where to post them. Thanks in advance for reading my ramblings. -Tony ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
