Running matplotlib in tkinter

Question

I have this beautiful sphere I made in matplotlib. How would I go about putting it in a tkinter frame widget? It\'d be nice to be able to integrate it into an existing tkint

Answer 1

Have a look at the examples for embedding plots in a tk GUI, it should be enough to get you started in the right direction.

user_interfaces example code: embedding_in_tk.py

user_interfaces example code: embedding_in_tk2.py

As for removing the toolbar, it's a case of not adding it when you are embedding plots in a GUI.

If you are using matplotlib.pyplot the toolbar will be created automatically for every figure. If you are writing your own user interface code, you can add the toolbar as a widget.
