WX backend patch

Development matplotlib-devel
1

Hi all,
I've submitted a patch to matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_wx.py on the bug tracker (http://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2166139&group_id=80706&atid=560722 ). I'd appreciate feedback on it and am looking forward to the functionality making it into an upcoming release.

Briefly, the patch fixes a bug when running under Windows and implements draw_image for the backend.

Thanks,

Lee Kamentsky

We'll be happy to take a look at this, but since we are trying to
figure out whether we should keep backend_ex at all, could you tell us
why you prefer or require backend wx over wxagg?

Thanks,
JDH

Thanks for your reply, John. It’s mostly me being naive - my code works
great when I choose WXAgg as my backend. I’ll be using that for now.
Feel free to accept / reject or ask for fixes to the patch.

OK, thanks. You may want to see this FAQ for more details on the backends
