I doubt that you could make zoom/pan fast while going through a web interface, without substantial changes to mpl. As an alternative, can you install gtk and pygtk from tarballs, in locations you control? I haven't tried it, so I have no idea how painful it would be; but if it works, you would have a fully-functional mpl. Actually, on RH, I'm sure the gtk libraries are already there, so it would be a question of whether the -devel rpms are also installed. If so, all you need would be pygtk, and that should be easy. I presume you have already tried to get IT support to install things like pygtk. Eric > > I could adapt for example: > > lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py > > but it seems quite involved.
