Overriding Save button on Toolbar

[Will_Woods]

I'm trying to override the behaviour of the toolbar, with partial success.

This works:

...but this doesn't:

Having actually created a figure, I can get a bound method for save_figure:

This I can override, and call my override function successfully from my
script - but pressing the save button on the toolbar doesn't call my
function...

I'm running matplotlib 1.1.1rc and python 2.7.3

Thanks,

Will

Hmm, problems with html, will try again in plain text:

I’m trying to override the behaviour of the toolbar, with partial success.

This works:

from matplotlib.backend_bases import NavigationToolbar2

home = NavigationToolbar2.home

def new_home(self, *args, **kwargs):
print ‘home pressed’
home(self, *args, **kwargs)

NavigationToolbar2.home = new_home

…but this doesn’t:

from matplotlib.backend_bases import NavigationToolbar2

save_figure = NavigationToolbar2.save_figure

def new_save(self, *args, **kwargs):
print ‘save_figure pressed’
save_figure(self, *args, **kwargs)

NavigationToolbar2.save_figure = new_save

Having actually created a figure, I can get a bound method for save_figure:

get_current_fig_manager().toolbar.save_figure()

This I can override, and call my override function successfully from my script - but pressing the save button on the toolbar doesn’t call my function…

I’m running matplotlib 1.1.1rc and python 2.7.3

Answering my own question - the solution is to add a binding to the save button, and prevent the event from propagating after calling new_save() by adding ‘return “break”’ at the end:

def new_save(self, *args, **kwargs):
print ‘save_figure pressed’
return “break”

get_current_fig_manager().toolbar.bsave.bind(‘’, new_save)

I would still like to know why the mechanism that works for the Home button fails for the Save button though…
