Hello,
recently I upgraded to matplotlib 1.0.0 which I mainly use
for plotting in my (python 2.6 based) application with Qt4 GUI. Overall it
works fine, but there are a few issues I experienced also with the previous
version, especially with the toolbar.
When building a standalone version using py2exe, images of
the toolbar are missing. I had to manually modify the .svg extensions
to .png in the _init_toolbar() function in backend_qt4.py. And
for the new ‘qt4_editor_options’ option, no png existed yet.
Since I wanted to get rid of some toolbar functions in my
standalone app, I wanted to create my own backend. But following the
instructions in the backend_template.py didn’t help me much. In the comments at
the beginning of this file it says:
"…add ‘xxx’ to the switchyard in
matplotlib/backends/init.py and ‘xxx’ to the backends list in the
validate_backend methon in
matplotlib/init.py and you’re off."
Unfortunately it doesn’t work this way (anymore).
Is it possible to update the instructions on doing your own
backend? Updating the Qt4 backend would help as well.
I know this is not the right place for feature requests, but
anyway: it would be nice to have some flexibility in modifying the toolbar
(which functions to add or not,etc). Now I do it the quick and dirty way: I
comment out the toolbar items in the _init_toolbar() function in backend_qt4.py.
However, depending on the app I’m working on, I have to comment/uncomment it…
Kind regards,
Jelmer
