Hello everybody, I think I really understand what Christopher expresses with 'you'll get a much better result, and probably less pain'. But because I couldn't find such a prompt and I'm not familiar with wxpython, I tried to build up my own one (using matplotlib.widgets.button) and run into two problems (already posted): a) When pressing for example 'g', 'l' or 'f' the button gets a grid, a log scale or gets full-screen. Can this be turned off? (subject: skip mpl-axes-interaction during key_press_event's) b) Some keys seem to be unaccessible: e.g. enter and backspace. The backend_(wx|gtk|tkagg).py might have to be modified to handle this. (subject: additional key events)
Now my question is: Could a prompt be a useful part of matplotlib?
