Controlling embeded matplotlib plots using tkinter

[3056kgw]

I'm fairly new to programming GUI's and I'm trying to control the zoom of a figure from matplotlib using a scrollbar. I can create the canvas for the figure with...


import matplotlib
import Tkinter as Tk
from matplotlib.backends.backend_tkagg import FigureCanvasTkAgg
...
root = Tk.Tk()
...
canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(f, master=root)
canvas.show()
canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=Tk.TOP, fill=Tk.BOTH, expand=1)


and the scrollbar with...

scrollbar = Tk.Scrollbar(root, orient=Tk.HORIZONTAL)
scrollbar.pack(side=Tk.TOP)

I just can't seem to figure out how to get the scrollbar to interact with the figures zooming functions.

Help.

If you are having a hard time because the Tkinter documentation is so limited, start here. It's old, but it's what I used to learn Tkinter. That was a long time ago, so I'll have to read the docs in order to help. If that helps you get started, post back and we can fine tune your code. If not, post back and I'll post some code for you.
