Have you looked at the animation examples that come with the
matplotlib distribution?

matplotlib/examples> ls *anim* dynamic_* sys*
animation_blit_fltk.py anim.py dynamic_image_gtkagg.py
animation_blit.py anim_tk.py dynamic_image_wxagg2.py
animation_blit_tk.py dynamic_demo.py dynamic_image_wxagg.py
animation_blit_wx.py dynamic_demo_wx.py system_monitor.py

Thanks... should have though of checking for an examples directory. The
dynamic_image_gtkagg.py is an example of what I want. However, it seems
to be a bit flickery - is there any way of double buffering or similar so
that the flicker won't be obvious?

Thanks.
