From some quick googling, it is apparently expected that full support will happen "soon" (before the end of 2017) so I may decide to just wait for it rather than downgrade the code (depending on how much time I want to spend on this...) but as a consequence, tinkering with mplcairo on Windows would right now require not only good familiarity with how to compile extension modules on Windows, but also with C++ to understand how to downgrade the code, so overall it may be quite tricky for you.</div><div><br></div><div>Wx support would require refactoring the wx backend code so that the rendering part gets strictly decoupled from the windowing part -- this is e.g. the purpose of PR#8771 that does the same for Qt. Actually, given that Wx already supports both "native" Wx rendering and Agg rendering, I expect this to be "relatively" easy, as the separation already mostly exists (basically we need to replace mentions of Agg by cairo in backend_wxagg.py). As always, PRs would be welcome.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>Antony</div></font></span></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2017-09-18 2:06 GMT-07:00 Francesco Faccenda <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:f.faccenda86@gmail.com" target="_blank">f.faccenda86@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>This is a good news, thank you.
