Does anyone know if using the blit method from FigureCanvasQTAgg is not fully supported? I'm having a problem where I'm animating a plot using the blit method and I click on/activate the window the background of the figure disappears (axes and line stay visible). I'm not sure if this is just me (Mac OS X Lion, Qt4 4.8.6, Matplotlib 1.1.0), but the following code reproduces the error:
···
###
from PyQt4 import QtGui,QtCore
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
from matplotlib.backends.backend_qt4agg import FigureCanvasQTAgg
from time import sleep
app = QtGui.QApplication([" "])
f = Figure()
c = FigureCanvasQTAgg(f)
a = f.add_subplot(111)
a.set_title("A Title")
bbox = c.copy_from_bbox(a.bbox)
lines = a.plot([1,2,3],[1,2,3])
c.draw()
c.show()
wait = raw_input("Press a key to continue...")
def update(i):
a.lines[0].set_ydata([i,1,i])
print a.bbox.bounds
c.restore_region(bbox, bbox=a.bbox)
a.draw_artist(a.lines[0])
c.blit(a.bbox)
sleep(1)
app.processEvents()
for i in range(20):
update(i)
wait = raw_input("Press a key to continue...")
###
To see the problem, run the code, watch the plot to make sure its updating properly, then click on the window to put it in focus/activate it. I'm hoping that I'm just doing something stupid and its an easy fix. It seems to work until I click on the window (in Mac OS X Lion Terminal the window is opened in the background and the Terminal window stays in focus). Thanks for any help.

David,
It works for me on linux with mpl from git. I haven't tried to figure it out, but it is conceivable that the problem you are seeing was fixed with this:
commit b624546ae60dc5878e75a32f41a160d383548b8f
Author: Eric Firing <efiring@...202...>
backend_qt4agg: draw() immediately calls FigureCanvasAgg.draw()
This is the latest in a series of modifications to the Qt4Agg
drawing strategy going back several years. It simplifies the
code and should solve the problem introduced in 6938b0025; that
is, delaying the Agg draw operation until the paintEvent breaks
code expecting that draw operation to have occurred immediately.
The problem was reported here:
