<p>A fully functional, do-nothing backend intended as a template for backend
writers. It is fully functional in that you can select it as a backend e.g.
with</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">matplotlib</span>
<span class="n">matplotlib</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">use</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">"template"</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>and your program will (should!) run without error, though no output is
produced. This provides a starting point for backend writers; you can
selectively implement drawing methods (<a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.backends.backend_template.RendererTemplate.draw_path" title="matplotlib.backends.backend_template.RendererTemplate.draw_path"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">draw_path</span></code></a>,
<a class="reference internal" href="#matplotlib.backends.backend_template.RendererTemplate.draw_image" title="matplotlib.backends.backend_template.RendererTemplate.draw_image"><code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">draw_image</span></code></a>, etc.) and slowly see your figure come to life
instead having to have a full blown implementation before getting any results.</p>
<p>Copy this file to a directory outside of the Matplotlib source tree, somewhere
where Python can import it (by adding the directory to your <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.path</span></code> or by
packaging it as a normal Python package); if the backend is importable as
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">import</span> <span class="pre">my.backend</span></code> you can then select it using</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">matplotlib</span>
<span class="n">matplotlib</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">use</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">"module://my.backend"</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If your backend implements support for saving figures (i.e. has a <code class="xref py py-obj docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">print_xyz</span></code>
method), you can register it as the default handler for a given file type:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">matplotlib.backend_bases</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">register_backend</span>
<span class="n">register_backend</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'xyz'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'my_backend'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">'XYZ File Format'</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="o">...</span>
<span class="n">plt</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">savefig</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">"figure.xyz"</span><span class="p">)</span>

mouse movements and key presses to functions that call the base
class methods button_press_event, button_release_event,
motion_notify_event, key_press_event, and key_release_event. See the
implementations of the interactive backends for examples.</p>

<p>The graphics context provides the color, line styles, etc... See the cairo
and postscript backends for examples of mapping the graphics context
attributes (cap styles, join styles, line widths, colors) to a particular
backend. In cairo this is done by wrapping a cairo.Context object and
forwarding the appropriate calls to it using a dictionary mapping styles
to gdk constants. In Postscript, all the work is done by the renderer,
mapping line styles to postscript calls.</p>
<p>If it's more appropriate to do the mapping at the renderer level (as in
the postscript backend), you don't need to override any of the GC methods.
If it's more appropriate to wrap an instance (as in the cairo backend) and
do the mapping here, you'll need to override several of the setter
methods.</p>
<p>The base GraphicsContext stores colors as a RGB tuple on the unit
interval, e.g., (0.5, 0.0, 1.0). You may need to map this to colors
appropriate for your backend.</p>
