Matplotlibbers,
While I though this would be fairly
easy, I've yet to find a decent solution. I'm interested in using the
RangeSelector or standard zoom feature along with an autoscaling
function. In the example below there are two gaussian profiles created
in a matrix. I would like to have the behavior in which when I zoom in
that the Z scale is reordered to account for the new range of data. Is
my only solution to take the limits returned by a RangeSelector event
and extract a sub-matix from the original data and replot each time I
zoom in or out or is there a more elegant solution? Is there a way to also
extend such functionality to contour, pcolor, etc.?
Cheers,
Brian
