Event handling, API programming

Hi, I'm trying to make myself a set of widgets for the first time.
I've gotten to the point that I can draw rectangles and lines and make
them do the right things when re-drawing figures, zooming, etc., but
I'm still a little lost on some points, and I haven't found any really
good documentation.

So, first question: Where should I go for documentation first?

I've been using examples, e.g. widgets.py, and the pygtk event
handling page, http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/sec-EventHandling.html.
This page was a useful explanation of the stuff in widgets.py:
http://www.nabble.com/some-API-documentation-td16204232.html.

Second question: I have two subplots of different data with the same
dimensions. I'd like to zoom in to the same region on both figures
when I use zoom-to-box on either one. How can I do this? (I'm using
tkAgg)
Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam,

As you've probably noticed, the documentation is in the middle of an
update. Part of what has suffered while the docs are updated is the
API documentation. The source code, however, is quite well
documented. A good way to get access to this documentation is to get
a hold of epydoc and run it on the matplotlib source tree. This will
generate good local docs for you.

Cheers,

Thanks, I was unaware of epydoc. The new matplotlib page (which
wasn't up when I asked this question) has a lot of examples showing
exactly what I want to do, so that will probably help a lot too.
