I have just made a further update to backend_wx.
Details below.
regards
Jeremy
Changes are:
- Support for mousewheel: using the mousewheel anywhere on the
toolbar or client area will perform the last selected interactive
function (if any)
- Added a status bar to interactive figure. This gives tooltips as
mouse travels over buttons, and indicates the last selected
interactive function: this is the function which will be called
when the mousewheel is used.
- Fixed bug where legend was not displayed
- Fixed bug no clipping performed on text labels
- Fixed bug script session does not exit cleanly on Windows 2000
- Fixed bug vertical text renders incorrectly. Actually this is not
a bug, but a wxPython feature: if you select a non-TrueType font
on Windows platform, display of rotated text is not possible. Fix
(for demo programs) was to trap the handle 'courier' and make it
map to a TrueType font. Longer term fix is to make sure that you
use a TrueType font.
Not yet implemented:
- Printing
- Measure between two points
Known bugs / issues:
- Under Windows 2000, the Figure window is larger than the figure
(OK on Linux, however)
- pcolor almost works! See pcolor_demo. But there appears to be a
rounding error in the locations of the patches, shich gives a
banded appearance to the pcolor
- xlabel location is incorrect. Actually, I'm having a great deal
of trouble tracking this one down.
- Display of axes menu under wxGTK is ugly (this is more of a wxGTK
implementation issue!)
- No axes selected when menu initially called - have to press the
menu key to 'select' an axis. Behaviour here could be improved.
- Using Y axis zoom causes vertical axis text to become misplaced.
- Vertical text renders incorrectly if you use a non TrueType font
on Windows. This is a known wxPython issue.
The following example programs work for me (subject to caveats above):

(1) - Do not see data in top right axis until zoom approx x5
(probably a bug)
(2) - Script uses GTK-specific features - cannot not run,
but wxPython equivalent should be written.
(3) - Script fails with: No such file or directory:
'data/membrane.dat' - get the data file!
(probably not a bug)
(4) - Script fails with: ValueError: string size must be a multiple
of element size. (probably not a bug)
