I am working on a GUI plotting tool and need to split the contents of one matplotlib Figure object across two tkinter FigureCanvasTkAgg objects. In a previous iteration, I accomplished this by placing the legend and table outside of the borders of the plot using bbox() - but this does not gel with the "Reset Original View" in the matplotlib toolbar and causes the x-axis scale to change with each click of the button. Shown below is how I am splitting apart these two canvases in tkinter _______________________________________________________ [ main_plot_frame ] [ _______________________________________________ ] [ [ | ] ] [ [ plot_frame_canvas | subplot_canvas ] ] [ [ _____________________ | _____________ ] ] [ [ [ ] | [leg - ax2 ] ] ] [ [ [ plot - ax1 ] | [ ] ] ] [ [ [ ] | [tbl - ax3 ] ] ] [ [ [___________________] | [___________] ] ] [ [ | ] ] [ [__________________________|__________________] ] [ ] [_____________________________________________________] It would be ideal to be able to user some call like self.plot_frame_canvas.add_subplot(ax1) self.subplot_canvas.add_subplot(ax2) self.subplot_canvas.add_subplot(ax3) self.plot_frame_canvas.draw() self.subplot_frame_canvas.draw() I have not so far found a way to do this in the MatPlotLib documentation - is there any easily accessible way to do something like this?
