Integrating a plot to a wxWidgets user interface

Using Tkinter, we can combine the plotting abilities of matplotlib and a fully featured GUI library. This solution has the advantage of relying on standard Python only. However, a classical argument against Tkinter is how it looks: the user interface has a look and feel of its own, not the look and feel of the platform it runs on.

The wxWidgets user interface is another GUI module for Python, binding the wx library. The wx library exposes a common API to create graphical interfaces on Windows, OS X, and Linux.
