wxMPL patch

Hi Carlo,

Sorry for the delay… I also haven’t done anything about this… yet? I might be more gung-ho to fold this into my wxmplot, which is fairly similar, but not exactly 1-to-1, and has some name overlaps with wxmpl. To be clear, I’m willing to refactor wxmplot to better accommodate most of the wxmpl interface, but it would take some effort, so maybe it would be better to have some goals in mind.

What interfaces are you actually using from wxmpl? I guess put another way: what do we want for a wx interface to matplotlib that’s higher level than the standard backend. The PlotPanel and PlotFrames look close enough to merge. The wxmpl StripCharter seems a little different from what I do with wxmplot, but perhaps that and the Channel class are easy enough to emulate.

For how / where to host it, I don’t much care. Github and pypi seem easy enough.

AFAIK, no, it shouldn’t be a problem. The question is where. I suspect it

would fit best as a mpl_toolkit.

yes – I figured that was most likely.

P.S. - Of course, you do realize that you are essentially making yourself

the de facto maintainer of it, right?

Well, me or Matt or Carlo – we’ll fight over that among ourselves.

Just a followup. Has wxmpl been pulled into the toolkit source yet?

Sounds like a great idea.

Those are what I use -- actually, only the PlotPanel -- I generally
want to customize the Frame.

  The wxmpl StripCharter seems a little different from what I do with
wxmplot, but perhaps that and the Channel class are easy enough to emulate.

Those are kind of higher-level stuff that's more suited to wxmplot, I
think -- as I don't use them, I don't care if you break the API -- but
that's just me.

For how / where to host it, I don't much care. Github and pypi seem easy
enough.

I think it would be great to put it in the mpl repo as an mpl_toolkit
-- which means github, yes?

Thanks for taking this on!
