Hi All,

It occurred to me that, much as I love the Demos they really are great there is one area where they are not ideal for many people - that is plotting & graphing. The existing demos demonstrates nicely the use of the wx pyplot package but this is not mainstream for many people who use plotting. The "default" plotting package for many is MatPlotLib and it turns out that with a couple of wrinkles MatPlotLib works fine with wxpython.

So I thought that it would be nice to put some demos (lifted from the MatPlotLib examples) into the wxDemos package as personally that is always where I point any fledgling python GUI developers.

Anyway, I have put together a start of such a set of demos but it is not ready for a PR yet but I think enough for a proof of concept and to ask for feedback here. The code so far is available at https://github.com/GadgetSteve/Phoenix/blob/master/demo/MatPlotLib/mpl_demo.py and at the moment is a standalone (i.e. not integrated into the demo). I am thinking to treat it as an external package and have a basics item with the core to using the wx backend and some other demos as well.

Should I carry on?
