Hey everyone, I've tried extensively to find a thread like this already, so I hope it's not a repose.
Basically, I have a program with a nice GUI (Tkinter) which has a frame which takes in matplotlib figures. I am able to connect the plots to the Tkinter frame this way:
def graph_area(self, frame):
'''Used to store parameters'''
self.graphframe = Frame(frame)
self.graphframe.pack(side = RIGHT)
self.f = Figure(figsize=(5,4), dpi=100)
self.ax1 = self.f.add_subplot(111)
self.canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(self.f, self.graphframe)
self.canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=TOP, fill=BOTH, expand=1)This works very nicely; however, I would really like to have the flexibility to incorporate mlab plots into this frame interchangably. Basically, the pylab canvas is plugged right into the tkinter frame; hwoever, I don't know of a way to do with with mlab. There is some documentation how to embed mlab into a Wx or Qt program, as well as how to customize mlab call backs.

Unfortunately, these don't explain if tkinter explicitly has any support for such an application. I suppose I could run the mlab programs in popup windows which aren't integrated into the frames directly; however, this is not preferred. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.
