Hope nobody minds if I jump into this discussion: > Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2008 07:55:06 -0500 > From: "John Hunter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > [...] could you tell us why you prefer or require backend wx over wxagg?
I tend to use matplotlib over an X connection, because the data I'm working with is on a Linux system whereas the machine I sit in front of is a Windows system. I therefore run python on the Linux machine, using my Windows machine just as an X server. I use the WX backend rather than WXAgg because WX is much more responsive for interactive use, e.g., zooming/panning. I'm willing to give up the much better-looking WXAgg output to gain responsiveness. For final output, I tend to save as EPS anyway. Don't know whether this is a widespread use case, but thought I'd mention it in case.
