Hi all,
I'd like to ask a probably basic qustion about backends in matplotlib
- specifically with regard to WXAgg and WX.
What are the differences of the two, and what are the supposed
usecases, and maybe restrictions for them?

Using matplotlib/pylab pylab in a rather basic way I encountered
problems with both backends and would like to clarify the differences
before i try to find a fix.

using wxAgg I am not able to display unicode text (some accents,
non-latin scripts etc. e.g. in pylab.title(...) and otherwhere .
Just changing:
matplotlib.use('WXAgg')
to
matplotlib.use('WX')
seemed to fix this, and the graph gui also looks more consistent with
my wxPython app.

However, using the current wxPython 2.9.2.1. (python 2.7.2, Win 7,
Czech) I see a more serious bug in the wx-backend (basically failing
to display the graph at all
(cf. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27902016 ),
which doesn't apply for WXAgg.

Coud someone maybe provide some hints, where I should look into to
understand the backend differences better?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
    Vlastimil Brom
