Plot in Tkinter

[katrien202]

Hi,
I want to put plots using pyplot in a Tkinter window, a frame. I want to have the options I usually have in pyplot figures: the user has to be able to zoom, save,... so a photo of the image will not satisfy.
Does anyone now how to do this?
Thanks

Can the plot be recreated using lines, arcs, polygons, etc.? Create a canvas and you can create the graphics on the canvas. You can also create a canvas window to display other widgets. You can bind the canvas to an event to redraw the canvas at a different scale.

No, unfortunately the plot can not be recreated with those attributes, they are data I'm reading and these data are complicated.

Perhaps you should check out the pyplot documentation found here.

Hi,
thanks.
Actually matplotlib uses Tkinter to show plots. But, I don't know the code behind matplotlib. If matplotlib can plot it in a new Tkinter window, I assume it can also do it in an existing one...

I do not know for sure, but I am guessing that pyplot wraps the API so the user does not have to worry about it. If the author(s) of pyplot can do it...........
