I suggest that you focus on the OO interface, rather than the pylab interface from the beginning. This will ease the transition from command line use to embedding, help folks understand the structure of MPL, and is the right way to do it (IMHO) with an OO language anyway. +1 I think

[Matplotlib-users] clabel return values

Is the list of return values from the clabel() function supposed to represent the position and orientation of the contour labels? I have a script below where I try to re-draw the contour labels using the Text objects in the list returned from clabel(), and they do not line up in my output.

I guess you're missing vertical and horizontal alignment. Also, your font properties were not set correctly. The 4th argument of the text function is a color. fontdict2 = {'fontweight':'light', 'color': 'r', 'fontsize':fontsize} fp = FontProperties(fontdict2) labels =

[Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib and WPF

I have (what I thought was ) a simple question: How do I display a matplotlib plot on WPF (running a C# application)? I want to be able to do some animation eventually, so exporting to png etc. is not an option. I did a lot of googling but got nowhere. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not aware of anyone having done this. It may require a small bit of C/C# extension code to transfer the image to the WPF window buffer (assuming you're not running IronPython and can access the necessary APIs directly from Python). You can look at the _tkagg.cpp extension for an example

I can't reproduce the error and I guess it is back end specific. Anyhow, the fontproperties object were created incorrectly and this may be cause of the problem. I just thought your original dictionary was in a correct form. So, test your code w/o fontproperties and see if your text is placed in
