Also I was thinking that the plotting functions could be more embeddable/customizable. Currently the "plot" function picks a backend (falling back on the "TextBackend" if matplotlib is not installed) and creates a window automatically. You can postpone it and modify the figure by setting show=False, but it is a little awkward. I would rather the user be able to pass in a preexisting mpl figure or axes object to plot on, and to select between multiple backends. That way you could for instance embed it in a GUI. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
