Toolbar missing when running on linux

[lit-af]

This isn't the first time I notice something wrong with the zoom and scroll toolbar. On Windows, it shows behind the Windows 11 menu bar. On Ubuntu Linux it simply doesn't show.

EDIT:
It actually shows when the window is in a screen where there's no menu bar displayed.

Thanks for reporting! Might be caused by recent versions of tkinter and/or matplotlib. Could you share your python and relevant package versions?

I think I found the issue. When the figsize is to large (20 by 10 inches by default) compared to your screen, the toolbar does not have enough space to get displayed.

I added a parameter to the methods that open the GUI to control the initial plot size. This hsould be available as the latest release (2.6) in a couple of minutes.

I also shipped a bunch of QoL improvements for the GUI:

You can now use shortcuts (o, p, h, b, and f) to activate the matplib tools for zooming, panning, home, back, and forward.
Once zoomed in, you can use the scrollwheel to scroll along the x-axis.
The first section is also activated by default now, so you can start labeling right away.

I just tested the newest release v2.6.0. It's partially fixed.

Python 3.10.12
matplotlib 3.9.2
tkinter version:

libtk8.6/jammy,now 8.6.12-1build1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
python3-tk/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now 3.10.8-1~22.04 amd64 [installed]
tk8.6-blt2.5/jammy,now 2.5.3+dfsg-4.1build2 amd64 [installed,automatic]

On a screen with OS tool bar:

When used on my second screen with no toolbar it's working as expected:

On both screens if the window isn't scaled to the maximum size possible the toolbar disappears.

Thanks for the QoL things like keyboard shortcuts, it really helps :)

And this is while providing a smaller then default figure size? Could you try setting the "fig size" parameter to something even smaller? Or does the toolbar always disappear when you maximize the window?

Could you solve your problem, by setting a smaller figsize?
