WxMpl already includes printing support, in the form of  
wxmpl.FigurePrinter.  Have you tried it yet, and if so, does it also  
have the zero-byte print job problem?

Tim,

Does the example code at    http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~newville/Python/MPlo=
t/
help at all?  I admit I haven't tried this on a linux box in a while,
and maybe not with very recent matplotlib versions.   But it works for
me on Windows and Mac, and has worked on linux boxes too.  The code
there should definitely be a reasonable place to start.

Cheers,

--Matt Newville <newville at cars.uchicago.edu>

hth,

Hi all,
I am struggling with printing from wxpython. Please dont refer me to the 
wxpython wiki - been there done that.

I have two almost identical snippets of code to perform a print preview 
and a paper print of a wxmpl figure. The print preview works 
brilliantly, print to paper - nothing happens on the paper. A 0 byte 
print job flashes through the windows print spooler and that's it.

For text reports I got easy html printing going - that was indeed 
easy.... but I fought and fought with wxPrintout and gave up.... I had 
exactly the same problem - print preview worked fine - but print paper - 
empty print jobs.. I am missing something - but I dont know what. Please 
not the wiki - it's not helping me - it normally is fantastic.

Can anyone post some code that will print a wxmpl figure? Here's mine - 
it's in a state after several days of failed attempts....
               
                self.printer_config = wx.PrintData()
                print "Printer is: ", 
self.printer_config.GetPrinterName()  # no printer name is reported here -
                                                                        
                            # yet a print job is sent to the pritner
                
self.printer_config.SetPaperId(wx.PAPER_A4_ROTATED)                
                tim = wxmpl.FigurePrinter(self,self.printer_config)
                tim.printFigure(self.ProdGraph.get_figure(), "Production 
Schedule") 

Plan B - my customer wants the graph on paper - he doesnt care how I do 
it - and right now neither do I
I have wxmpl making a png image in a file - can some one give me the 
minimum lines of code - to get the png on paper - please. Lets say the 
file is called graph.png.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm relatively new to python and matplotlib and trying to make a graph with
an inset.

How do I control the size of the text in the legend, made using figlegend?

I've tried to do something like this:

leg =3D figlegend(lines,(r'$r_f =3D 1.5d$',r'$r_f =3D 2d$',r'$r_f =3D 4d$',
                       r'$r_f =3D 6d$'),(0.7,0.7))
legLbls =3D leg.get_texts()
set(legLbls,fontsize=3D24)

but that seems to have no effect.

Also, how do I change the frequency of the tick labeling?  I want to label
over other tick instead of every tick in the inset figure.  Right now it is
too busy.

So far, matplotlib looks great!  Thanks for all the hard work.

Thanks,
James

It works fine in TkAgg.  That implies that you are right and it is a
threading problem in pygtk.  Thanks a lot for tracking this down.
