This is yet another example of using matplotlib with wx. Hopefully this is pretty full-featured:

  • both matplotlib toolbar and WX buttons manipulate plot
  • full wxApp framework, including widget interaction
  • XRC (XML wxWidgets resource) file to create GUI (made with XRCed)

This was derived from embedding_in_wx and dynamic_image_wxagg.

Thanks to matplotlib and wx teams for creating such great software!
