I have recently started using bspwm and I have been blown away by the improvement in my workflow. There is however one thing that has been bothering me:
I am writing data analysis scripts in python that use matplotlib for plotting. Every time a plot is drawn, my windows get rearranged because bspwm does its tiling magic. Normally, I would define a floating=True in the configuration file, however for this I need the name of the application. Something like this:
bspc rule -a matplotlib floating=on
Can somebody tell me, how can I properly address matplotlib figures?
P.S. Could somebody create a tag for bspwm?
Thank you for your reply. In general, this answers the questions, but when I click on a matplotlib plot, I get ", as output. Any idea what might be causing this? – Sasha – 2015-10-20T08:05:49.893
I think the only possibility here is that matplotlib hasn't got a WM_CLASS. So, unless you can find in the matplotlib doc how to set one, (you'll maybe need to edit the source files) you can't set a bspc rule. – pinusc – 2015-11-05T21:46:41.943
