Re: [matplotlib-devel] SpanSelector with gtk3cairo backend

2014-11-11 Thread Jens Nielsen
There was an issue with the GTK3Agg backend on Python 3 due to a missing feature in the python 3 port of PyCairo but this has been fixed in Matplotlib 1.4.0 by making it possible to use cairocffi as an alternative to PyCairo. CairoCFFI implements the missing feature. (While the Agg backends

I should point out that the animation module tries to determine if the canvas can blit if the user sets it to True. If it can't blit, then it simply ignores the True setting. Maybe we should do something similar like here as well? On Tue, Nov 11, 2014 at 4:50 PM, Arnaud Gardelein

[matplotlib-devel] SpanSelector with gtk3cairo backend

2014-11-10 Thread Arnaud Gardelein
SpanSelector is a powerful widget that allows to define a particular region in a Figure. Some time ago I switched to python3 and needed to use gtk3cairo instead of gtkagg; to my knowledge there is still a message preventing using agg backend with python3. Unfortunately since then I am not able to

Not sure what you mean about agg + py3k, it should work fine (as we test it). The issue is that the cairo backend is a vector backend, which does not have a notion of blitting, which is something that span selector uses to make it nice and snappy. Should be able to get it to work by passing the
