My 0.6dev does not know the property fancy:

In [8]: io.imshow(ctx.data, fancy=True)

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)

Do I need to activate something at compile time with the setup.py?

I thought one solution was to sub-class FigureCanvas, with extra
buttons, but from what I understand, it is not that easy to do this at
the platform independant level.
But maybe adding arguments to the function call, for exemple imshow(x,
set_contrast=True, linescan=True) plus keyboard toggles is enough?

What do you mean by mask editor? Something like a slider to adjust a
threshold with a superimposed mask?
