Hi Pierre -- this looks very nice (the last link is broken though , I get a
404 error). We would be happy to include this in matplotlib or as a
toolkit. To contribute it to to mpl, the license needs to be matplotlib
compatible (
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/coding_guide.html#licenses) but we
have more licensing flexibility in a toolkit, though we prefer to keep
everything BSD compatible where possible. And of course you would need to
agree to maintain it :-) but I think many users would appreciate a GUI plot
configuration dialog.
