What kind of control do you mean? To quote from http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/backends.html: The matplotlib core graphics routines interact with an abstract renderer and graphics context to allow device independent ouput. Currently, output to pygtk, wxPython, Tkinter, postscript, pdf, svg, agg (antigrain geometry) and Cairo are supported. With not too much effort, you can port matplotlib to your favorite display. If you are interested in porting to one of these platforms, please contact the matplotlib-devel mailing list. If you are additionally hoping for an abstraction of the GUI, I do not think Matplotlib offers such a thing. Indeed, I would find such an effort very surprising. (But I'm just a user.) Maybe a very specific example of what you are doing would help. Cheers, Alan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
