Michael,
I can get that to work rather easily on a matplotlib.pyplot figure via a
patch. I haven't had any luck getting that to work when using the
MatplotlibWidget in Qt.
Essentially in my code, I'm doing the following (where fig_myData is the
MatplotlibWidget instance):
result = self.ui.fig_myData.axes.imshow(self.myData, cmap='jet',
interpolation='nearest', origin='lower', aspect='auto')
self.ui.fig_myData.draw()
What do I put in before the draw() statement? Something like
self.ui.fig_myData.set_facecolor('#e0e0e0') ? I've tried that exact line
and the error I get is "MatplotlibWidget object has no attribute
'set_facecolor'".
Any ideas?
Thanks
