I have a couple questions about anim.py:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/anim.py
I'm running Python 2.5.1 and Matplotlib 0.90.1 under Win 2000.
1. Running anim.py at DOS prompt: it runs correctly until
the end:
Fatal Python error: PyEval_RestoreThread: NULL tstate
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
How can I get rid of this error?
2. Running under the Python interpreter (using execfile):
The Tk window will not display until the script has finished
running, so the animation cannot be viewed. How can I run
this animation from the interpreter window?
Thank you,
Alan Isaac
OK, there is a simple fix to this:
explicitly close the figure after the loop.
I'll attach a fixed example file, in case
a developer cares to substitute it.
New question 1: why is this necessary?
New question 2: why can I tab away from the Tk Window
while this script is running but not tab back to it?
Old question remaining:
Running under the Python interpreter (using execfile): The
Tk window will not display until the script has finished
running, so the animation cannot be viewed. How can I run
this animation from the interpreter window?
Note that this seems closely related to New Question 2.
Thank you,
