Hello,
recently I upgraded to matplotlib 1.0.0 which I mainly use for plotting in my
(python 2.6 based) application with Qt4 GUI. Overall it works fine, but there
are a few issues I experienced also with the previous version, especially with
the toolbar.
When building a standalone version using py2exe, images of the toolbar are
missing. I had to manually modify the .svg extensions
to .png in the _init_toolbar() function in backend_qt4.py. And for the new
'qt4_editor_options' option, no png existed yet.
Since I wanted to get rid of some toolbar functions in my standalone app, I
wanted to create my own backend. But following the instructions in the
backend_template.py didn't help me much. In the comments at the beginning of
this file it says:
"...add 'xxx' to the switchyard in matplotlib/backends/__init__.py and 'xxx' to
the backends list in the validate_backend methon in
matplotlib/__init__.py and you're off."
Unfortunately it doesn't work this way (anymore).
Is it possible to update the instructions on doing your own backend? Updating
the Qt4 backend would help as well.
I know this is not the right place for feature requests, but anyway: it would
be nice to have some flexibility in modifying the toolbar (which functions to
add or not,etc). Now I do it the quick and dirty way: I comment out the toolbar
items in the _init_toolbar() function in backend_qt4.py. However, depending on
the app I'm working on, I have to comment/uncomment it...
Kind regards,
Jelmer
