Thanks. One final question - how would i run the MainLoop() in a separate thread? because once i start MainLoop(), i can't do something in ipython anymore.
I'd like to have a window open and then be able to add tabs in that window, and everything from from within ipython. so that i can close frames and open others later on. something of the sort: app.MainLoop() # make first window frame = wx.Frame(None,-1,'Plotter') plotter = PlotNotebook(frame) # make one tab, plot something in it axes1 = plotter.add('figure 1').gca() axes1.plot([1,2,3],[2,1,4]) # use mouse and kill that tab. we want something else # open another tab now ....
