Using python33 & pygi-aio-3.10.2-win32_rev18 (to provide pygobject for windows:)
Using: http://matplotlib.org/examples/user_interfaces/embedding_in_gtk3_panzoom.html as the baseline provides the following error:
< File “c:\Python33\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_gtk3agg.py”, line 52, in on_draw_event
buf, cairo.FORMAT_ARGB32, width, height)
NotImplementedError: Surface.create_for_data: Not Implemented yet.
This has been mentioned a few times across the ml
Modifying the example to use backend_gtk3cairo
from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk3cairo import FigureCanvasGTK3Cairo as FigureCanvas
from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk3 import NavigationToolbar2GTK3 as NavigationToolbar
Now the example runs and plots a nice sinewave (as expected). Modify the script to plot 7 waveforms, 100pts

Good evening,
I am at present migrating an application of mine from py27+pygtk (with
mpl) to py33+pygobject (gtk3)
Unfortunately I am unable to use
from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk3agg import FigureCanvasGTK3Agg as FigureCanvas
from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk3 import NavigationToolbar2GTK3 as NavigationToolbar
Which is is on the examples (
http://matplotlib.org/examples/user_interfaces/embedding_in_gtk3_panzoom.html
) but is also the logical translation from what I presently have.
This falls fowl of the cairo issue
What I am having to use is backend_gtk3cairo. However this is being
triggered
raise ValueError("The Cairo backend can not draw paths longer than
18980 points.")
I am generally plotting 7 x-y plots with upto 30,000 points.
Now for now I have commented this out from my local install, is there
a better/preferred/recommended alternative?
This was put in there because cairo had (at least at the time) a hard
coded limit on path size, and getting a Python exception was IMHO
preferable to segfaulting and having the process go away. Are you
saying that when you comment it out, it’s currently working? It may be
that cairo has fixed this limit in the intervening years. Can you
provide a simple, standalone example that reproduces the error?

This works, its only 100pts for 7 scatters so nothing unexpected.
Modify the arange to create a time array of 30,000 pts.
t = np.arange(0,2np.pi,2np.pi/30000)
File “c:\Python33\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backends\backend_cairo.py”, line 143, in draw_path
raise ValueError("The Cairo backend can not draw paths longer than 18980 points.")
ValueError: The Cairo backend can not draw paths longer than 18980 points.
The already mentioned raise to protect against a segfault.
Edit backend_cairo to comment out the check:
def draw_path(self, gc, path, transform, rgbFace=None):
#if len(path.vertices) > 18980:
# raise ValueError("The Cairo backend can not draw paths longer than 18980 points.")
ctx = gc.ctx
7channel, 30,000 pts each is plotted just fine. Zoom rectangle is slow to render, but this is true for 100pts (so more a gtk3 thing than a cairo and multiple points thing)
