Hi, I'm looking into using matplotlib as the backend for doing visualization for my dissertation work. This would replace some existing Qt/OpenGL code I've written (but isn't too extensible) for 2D plots of weather radar data (think pcolor style plots). I've been using matplotlib for awhile for other projects, and love it, but it has the drawback that it's interactive graphics are not all that quick (especially pcolor). (Note: I know imshow is faster, but my data are on a polar grid.) I've been spoiled by the speed of OpenGL graphics and the ease of interactive data analysis, so I just can't go back. Has anyone tried making an OpenGL backend? If not, can anyone think of any reason why it couldn't be done, maybe using wx's GLCanvas?
Any comments, or starting points on where I could see how to go about this would be _greatly_ appreciated.
