I have a question, how to control matplotlib from another application.
Let me explain. We want to monitor some sensor data. The monitoring application
already offers a toolbar to choose the view for several embedded windows. For
example, buttons like "Reset view","Back/Forward", "Pan", "Zoom" and many more
are available. The same functions that are shown in each TkAgg matplotlib
window (like the six buttons in the bottom of
http://postneo.com/pix/matplotlib.png, for example).
Because we don't want to duplicate the buttons, we want to
* Hide the buttons in the matplotlib window
* Show only the plot without any decorations
* Embed the matplotlib window into out wxPython application (this step is
nice-to-have, but we can also work with another toplevel window, which is not
embedded)
* Finally, but most important: control from our wxPython application when to
set the matplotlib window into Zoom/Pan/Rotate mode
How can we implement the last step? Do we have to implement our own Backend?
What we need is documented for Chaco in detail, but has it been done with
matplotlib before? We prefer matplotlib because it is more advanced except for
the UI integration.
Please guide us in the right direction
