way to copy an axes object into different figures

Community matplotlib-users

Hi!

Is there a way to copy an axes object into different figures?
The idea would be to first create a valuable plot, save it on its own into a file, and then add it to a subplots figure as part of an overview?
I tried to play with this but can't make it to show up in an pylab session:

plot(arange(10))
ax = gca()

fig, axes = subplots(2,2)

axes[0,0].set_axes(ax)

If the above is correct, how can I make it show up now? fig.show() did not work and fig.draw() needs an artist and a renderer which I am unsure where to get them from?

Any hints, or which docs to read as usual apprectiated!

You can try fig.canvas.draw() to draw but as I have never tried the above not sure whether it will work.

Get your SQL database under version control now!

Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent

caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under

version control? Why should you start doing it? Read more to find out.

Should have mentioned but the artist is like self in most classes so really just need to pass in the renderer.

The renderer can be obtained from fig.canvas.get_renderer() so can pass this to fig.draw(fig.canvas.get_renderer()). I have never done it this way but should have the same results I am guessing as what I mentioned above.
