Show how to add a matplotlib FigureCanvasGTK or FigureCanvasGTKAgg widget to a gtk.Window

import gtk

from matplotlib.figure import Figure
import numpy as np

# uncomment to select /GTK/GTKAgg/GTKCairo
#from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk import FigureCanvasGTK as FigureCanvas
from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkagg import FigureCanvasGTKAgg as FigureCanvas
#from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkcairo import FigureCanvasGTKCairo as FigureCanvas


win = gtk.Window()
win.connect("destroy", lambda x: gtk.main_quit())
win.set_default_size(400, 300)
win.set_title("Embedding in GTK")

f = Figure(figsize=(5, 4), dpi=100)
a = f.add_subplot(111)
t = np.arange(0.0, 3.0, 0.01)
s = np.sin(2*np.pi*t)
a.plot(t, s)

canvas = FigureCanvas(f)  # a gtk.DrawingArea
win.add(canvas)

win.show_all()
gtk.main()
