Yes, this should be fairly easy to implement, since all the drawing
commands draw to a gtk.gdk.Drawable, of which pixmap is a derived
class.  When I make the hardcopy (png or tiff) I am already using a
blank pixmap as the background, so it should be fairly easy to add a
command to the Figure API, which is set_background_pixmap, and then
allow you to plot on top of it (or just use the pixmap alone).  I will
take at look at this and get back to you.

Thanks for the suggestion,

I recently discovered the matplotlib project with great pleasure.
It is already fulling many of my wishes linked to python development
However there is a function I would love to have, and it should be straight=
 forward to implement eventhough it is not in the matlab spirit:
- I would like to be able to get a plot based on an existing pixmap
- This way I would be able	 - to get the nice tools provided by the figure,=
 axes, zooming, etc..
					    - keep a consistent presentation 	 of my many plots
- As figures in matlibplot are supposed to be pixmaps in axes this should b=
e fairly easy to implement

instead of havinf plot(x,y) it would be plot(pixmap)

If on top of that I could use the pixmap as a background of other plot, (pl=
ot (pixmap, x,y) it would be even better

Any idea on how this could be done ?
