So just to make sure that I understand this, "MyInteractiveBackend" would be any backend canvas class for whom we want to implement the standard generic mixin. For example, the class FigureCanvasGTK would inherit FigureCanvasEventLoopMixin until we get around to writing something specific for GTK. On the other hand, FigureCanvasWx wouldn't inherit the mixin, but would use the WX specific code you sent yesterday. And FigureCanvasPs wouldn't get anything at all. Am I getting this? If so, then I will go ahead and make the appropriate modifications. Looking at the list of backends, I think it suffices to inherit the mixin for the following backends: cairo, cocoagg, fltkagg?, gdk?, gtk, qt4, qt, tkagg (wx covered with its own code). All other interactive backends should inherit from these. The ones with the question marks I am not really sure about, but will assume true unless told otherwise. I agree with Gael that warning is probably sufficient. This will allow code running in the background to pass over interactive commands such as ginput. This may be better than an immediate error, but could cause problems later in the script when data is expected, but one gets []. Cheers, David -- ********************************** David M.
