  12 # wx.lib.plot.py came with its own excellent demo built in,     |
  13 # for testing purposes, but it serves quite well to demonstrate |
  14 # the code and classes within, so we are simply borrowing that  |
  15 # code for the demo. Please load up wx.py.plot.py for a review  |
  16 # of the code itself. The demo/test is at the bottom of         |
  17 # the file, as expected.                                        |

  35 This demo illustrates the features of the new PyPlot modules, found
  36 in wx.lib.plot.py. All methods and functions are documented clearly
  37 therein; only the overview is included here.
  38
  39 <p>
  40 PyPlot is an improvement over wxPlotCanvas, which is now deprecated.
  41 If you are using wxPlotCanvas now, please make plans to migrate in
  42 anticipation of the time that wxPlotCanvas disappears completely.
  43
  44 <p>
  45 The demo illustrates four different plot styles (with appropriate
  46 variations on fonts, etc, to show how flexible it is) as well as
  47 provides you with a means to tinker with all the features that
  48 come with the class itself.
  49
  50 <p><ul>
  51 <li>File Menu
  52
  53     <ul>
  54     <li>Page Setup
  55
  56         This allows you to set up how the plot will be printed. This
  57         is built into the library itself.
  58
  59     <li>Print Preview
  60
  61         As you might expect, this allows you to preview how the plot
  62         will look when printed, in light of the page setup you may
  63         have selected above.
  64
  65     <li>Print
  66
  67         Suprise! It prints the current plot to your printer! :-)
  68
  69     <li>Save Plot
  70
  71         That's right, the library even provides you with the means
  72         to export the plotted data out to a graphics file. Several
  73         formats are allowed for, basically any image class that
  74         supports saving.
  75     </ul>
  76
  77 <li>Plot Menu
  78
  79     <ul>
  80     <li>Plot 1 ... Plot 5
  81
  82         Different data with different plot formats, including one empty
  83         plot.
  84
  85     <li>Enable Zoom
  86
  87         If Zoom is enabled, you can rubber-band select an area of the
  88         plot to examine it in detail using the left mouse button. Right
  89         mouse button zooms back out. This is automatically supported
  90         by the library, all you have to do is turn it on.
  91
  92     <li>Enable Grid
  93
  94         Plots can have different styles of grids, and and these grids can
  95         be turned on or off as needed.
  96
  97     <li>Enable Legend
  98
  99         Plot can have legends or not, the contents which are definable
 100         by you.
