I think I've found it. But now I need to know what the values should be. I assume the application name should be "matplotlib" (no quotes, with no capitalization). What about the window role? I am think either "figure" or "plot" would be good, probably the former (once again without quotes and with no capitalization). Is that reasonable? It is easy to change later, although the change should be consistent across all backends.
The other issue is whether I should use the same window role for all backends, or separate roles for each backend (such as "qt4 figure"). Does anyone have an opinion on this? -Todd On Tue, Jan 18, 2011 at 12:54 PM, todd rme <toddrme2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Maybe, I am not that familiar with X11 programming.
