matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

 Hello,
I would like if there are an easy way to define new type points (like a 
star or other symbols). I would like to know if there are something 
similar to this function who comes from supermongo.

Thanks,
N.

I have a problem :
I wrote a little GUI with glade, python and pygtk.
This GUI produce one or many figures to plot results, depend on what the 
user click.
To plot a new figure, I use from pylab import * an figure().
My GUI is a one windows GUI.
The problem is :
when 1 figure + the main window is open and I close this figure, the 
main window also close !
But when 2 (or more figure) + the main window are open when I close a 
figure, it close only this figure, non problem.
When my main scipt is run with the ipython console with 'run my_gui.py' 
, it works.
But with 'python my_gui.py', it doesn't work.
What is trick ?
thanks
samuel

Thank you mark!
coming from gnuplot, this wasn't obvious to me, as the word "margin"
appears nowhere in the docs

To control the white space you can set the position and size of the axes:
ax =3D gca()
ax.set_position(pos)
set_position(self, pos) method of matplotlib.axes.Subplot instance
 Set the axes position with pos =3D [left, bottom, width, height]
 in relative 0,1 coords
 ACCEPTS: len(4) sequence of floats
You can also change the default values of figure.subplot in the
matplotlibrc file.
