Show matplotlib plot in a wxpython panel and update on button push

I am trying to plot 1D txt files in a part of the window created using wxpython. For this purpose, a directory selection tool was included which lists all txt files. Now, I would like to select a txt file and plot it in a panel on the right side.
Further, I am thinking to implement a button that does some operations on the data and replot again.
What I have tried is this :

import numpy as np

from matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg import FigureCanvasWxAgg as FigureCanvas
from matplotlib.figure import Figure

This creates a window as follows :
The right portion is assigned as a panel, and I not sure how to place the matplotlib plot in it. Thank you.
There are several good questions on SE probing this topic, such as Q1 and Q2; however, most are limited to the plot being shown on the main window.

wxGlade includes some wxPython / matplotlib examples. Use these as starting point.

wxPython middle align items in sizer

I am dynamically changing the number of wx objects in my GUI. The code is working but the alignment of the objects is not perfect. The static text objects are not middle aligned with the text objects.
Notice that the word 'if' is not perfectly aligned with 'field name'.
Code:

Please could someone advise on how I can fix this alignment issue.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Duh! It turns out I just needed to change the alignment when adding items to the row sizer.

wxpython sizers expands issue

I have a screen which has 6 grids as follows:
I'm adding a 7th grid.
This causes the screen to look like:
however I want the screen to be:
I tried to do it with flexgrid but it's not working.
This is my code:
sizer_2 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
sizer_2.AddSpacer(10)
sizer_4 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer_4.Add(self.grid1, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
sizer_4.AddSpacer(20)
sizer_4.Add(self.grid4, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
sizer_4.AddSpacer(20)
sizer_4.Add(self.grid7, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
sizer_5 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer_5.Add(self.grid2, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
sizer_5.AddSpacer(20)
sizer_5.Add(self.grid5, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
sizer_6 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer_6.Add(self.grid3, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
sizer_6.AddSpacer(20)
sizer_6.Add(self.grid6, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)

sizer_1= wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer_1.AddSpacer(10)
sizer_1.Add(sizer_2)
sizer_1.AddSpacer(20)
sizer_1.Add(sizer_3, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
self.SetSizer(sizer_1)
self.Layout()
What can I do?

I don't like the grid sizers because I find them pretty confusing. So I typically take something like this and draw boxes around the various groups. The boxes represent BoxSizers. Once I have that done, I know what to do and write my code accordingly. Here's how I would lay this out:
import wx

wxpython how to recreate grid?

I want to recreate a grid. For example: old grid is 4x4, I want change it to 5x5.
Here is my code:
import wx
import wx.xrc
import wx.grid
class MyFrame2(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, title=wx.EmptyString, pos=wx.DefaultPosition,
size=wx.Size(500, 300), style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE | wx.TAB_TRAVERSAL)
bSizer4 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.m_grid2 = wx.grid.Grid(self, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0)
# Grid
self.m_grid2.CreateGrid(4, 4)
bSizer4.Add(self.m_grid2, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
self.m_button3 = wx.Button(self, wx.ID_ANY, u"MyButton", wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize, 0)
bSizer4.Add(self.m_button3, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
self.m_button3.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnClick)
self.SetSizer(bSizer4)
self.Layout()
def OnClick(self, event):
self.m_grid2.CreateGrid(5, 5)
self.Layout()
app = wx.App()
frame = MyFrame2(None)
frame.Show(True)
app.MainLoop()
It raise an error when I run that:
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\wx-3.0-msw\wx\grid.py", line 1221, in CreateGrid
return _grid.Grid_CreateGrid(*args, **kwargs)
wx._core.PyAssertionError: C++ assertion "!m_created" failed at ..\..\src\generic\grid.cpp(2325) in wxGrid::CreateGrid(): wxGrid::CreateGrid or wxGrid::SetTable called more than once
It seems I can't recreate this grid again. How can do this job?

If you don't want to Append the rows and columns, then you'll just have to recreate the grid itself. Here's a fairly simple demo that demonstrates how to do that:

You may only call the CreateGrid function once. if you want to change the size, you need to use the functions AppendCols, AppendRows, DeleteCols or DeleteRows.
def OnClick(self, event):
self.m_grid2.AppendCols(1)
self.m_grid2.AppendRows(1)

Notebook widgets do not display properly unless we resize the window in wxPython?

im having a little issue with NoteBook switching. When I switch notebook tabs, I will need to resize to make the wigdets display properly. I tried using self.Refresh() but that does not seem to do anything. If you have trouble understanding me, please run the following code, then switch tabs and resize, you will notice that there is problems, displaying things correctly. I do not know if this is a problem with wxPython but I think it is with my code.
