Although this has been a big improvement, there is a lingering issue that I want to get around to cleaning up now. When I use this workaround that Jae Joon provided, it works just fine except that if I call canvas.draw() (because I am adding a star to a particular marker when point picking), it causes the whole canvas to "jump" a little bit. What happens is that on the first call to .draw() the plot area increases vertically a tiny amount and the title moves up slightly. On subsequent calls, the plot surface doesn't increase vertically but the title text moves slightly up and then down quickly. This happens each time I point pick for the first 5 or so times, and then it stops doing it. I don't even have to add any new points to the plot, just call canvas.draw() and it will do this. It is visually distracting and a look and feel demerit for the app for sure. I've tried to make a sample that is not embedded in wxPython but so far I can't reproduce the problem. Jae Joon or anyone, any ideas about why this is occurring and how to prevent it? If need be I will try to work up a sample that demonstrates it, but so far I've failed in that.
