matplotlib-users Mailing List for matplotlib

hello,
I am working in Python with TkAgg. I have several plots that I would 
like to display on a single figure. The problem is, when I set the 
figure size to 12in wide, 6in high (which is perfect for my laptop) the 
plots get scrunched up. If I resize the window in which they're 
displayed then the plots scrunch up even further. So it appears to me 
that the figure size is tied to the window size.
I would like to set the size of the initial window in which the plots 
appear and then fix the size of the canvas? frame? figure? (not sure 
what I need to fix). I have created a scrollbar on the window to permit 
scrolling up and down.
I have attached the Navigation Toolbar to the bottom of the window, 
which is where I would like it to stay. So, the plots should scroll up 
and down with the toolbar fixed.
My small sample program is attached.
I am using Tk (as opposed to another GUI) as I am generating these plots 
from data in SimPy and am using SimGUI to control the model execution 
and plotting.
I would greatly appreciate any help!
Regards,
Bonnie Douglas

Yeah, simply have a look at diagram.py
And yes, it should work out-of-the-box. The init file should be
already included. Simply put it in a folder. It's tiny.
Everything needed should be:
import matplotlib.figure
fig = matplotlib.figure.Figure()
ax = fig.add_axes((0.2, 0.2, 0.6, 0.6))
ax.imshow(...)
And would you mind if I put my opinion about the not-a-numpy-issue
character on the numpy list too? I think it's a pure matplotlib
problem, in my opinion numpy is behaving well, although they told you
to fill in a ticket?

Ah, ok, not right now (perhaps later): for the purpose of adding your code to the numpy bug ticket, I think it's best if I use something a little more ubiquitous. ;-) But it looks useful, so I'll probably grab it and try it out myself; is it pure python, i.e., should I be able to just put it in a folder containing an init file in site-packages and then it should "just work"?
Thanks again,

Yeah, my e-mail client (gmail) chooses for e-mail from the
matplotlib-users list as default recipient of the answer always the
sender (maybe a misconfiguration?). I have to click "Answer All", and
I sometimes fail to do so, and do not recognise.

All you tried won't work, diagram_cl is not included with matplotlib,
and as I think it never will. Please clone or download from
http://github.com/friedrichromstedt/diagram_cl . See also

Try
 cb.orientation = "horizontal"
 cb.update_bruteforce(cb.mappable)
it seems to work okay.
However, note that "update_bruteforce" clears the axes then redraws.
So, if you added some artists in the colorbar axes by yourself
(although this is not likely), they will be lost.

Yeah, my email client (yahoo!) showed your example submission email as being directly to me, not the list, so I assumed that you were sending it directly to me because you saw that I had cross-posted to the numpy list. Anyway, I'm returning this thread to this list, FWIW.

Sorry for being dense, but where do I get diagram_cl?
>>> from matplotlib import diagram_cl as dc
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name diagram_cl
and http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/search.html?q=diagram_cl yields:

No to both, as far as I know. Every now and then the question of using 
traits in mpl is raised, and some trials have been done, but to date it 
has not caught on.
