We just need a javascript or java applet like Jmol to do 2d plots. It definitely is possible. We just haven't done anything with it yet. It'd be nice if matplotlib had a "canvas" backend like gnuplot just introduced (see http://skuld.bmsc.washington.edu/~merritt/gnuplot/canvas_demos/). Then we could keep the advanced plotting functionality of matplotlib, but still have interactive goodness in the notebook. > > Could you explain better what do you mean by "finding the extent of a > matplotlib object"? Given a matplotlib object, I need to return the bounding box of the object. Basically, I need to find the minimum and maximum x and y values of the object. I thought I knew how to do this (see the patch), but it doesn't seem to work on different types of matplotlib objects. I imagine that a simple post to the matplotlib-users list is what is needed, I just haven't made time to do it yet.
