<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">I am writing
to you because of an issue regarding the use of OpenGL in cairo backends from matplotlib. As I set
a cairo backend with the instruction matplotlib.Use(“WXCairo”), there is evidence
that the graphic computation is not being carried out by the graphic card.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">Since the
significative amount of plotted data, the chart are heavy and slow when the
user is interacting with them, so a graphic acceleration would be really
appreciated.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">As a side
note, I am embedding matplotlib canvas on wxPython stages, that’s why I choose
WXCairo as backend, at first. However, setting other backends (GTKCario, TKCairo, Qt4Cairo,
Qt5Cairo etc) while still using wx, still provides a working code without any errors,
even if the graphic card is still not exploited.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">Is this an
actual malfunction or am I missing something? What should I do to run matplotlib
graphic computation on a graphic card? Thank you in advance.<span></span></span></p>
