Hi, I believe it is not currently possible to change the toolbar in a backend independent manner. I do agree it would be a nice feature though.
I think it would be possible to change the toolbar without embedding with a syntax not all that different from the one you suggest. In the figure window, the toolbar is displayed by the FigureManager( FigureManagerBase), you'll find the related code in the backend file and you can gain access to the FigureManager through the figure instance. Please share the code for your annotation toolbar once it is completed, I'm sure I could find use for it. --------------- >> by Bartosz Telenczuk Oct 11, 2010; 11:44am Dear all, I am working on a custom toolbar with annotation tools (such as arrows, text etc.) which would be a replacement or addition to the standard navigation toolbar usually available at the bottom of the figure window. So far in order to add the toolbar I use the example embedding_in_gtk2.py. Unfortunately this works only with gtk backends. Is there a way to add the toolbar to the window in a backend-independent way? For example, the following syntax would be very convenient: fig = figure() tbar = NavigationToolbar() fig.add_toolbar(tbar) With such an API one could define on the runtime which toolbar should be avialable. Adding multiple toolbar would be also possible.
