Hello,
I'm using today's svn source and I'm surprised that the following loop
does not get redrawn 10 times.
for it in range( 10 ):
plot( arange( it ) )
draw()
raw_input();
That is, within a 'ipython -pylab' session. Is this really a question
for the ipython folks? Or am I missing something here?
Thank you,
Glen Mabey
Hello Glen,
I'm not sure, but maybe it would help to use
ax = subplot(111)
and
ax.plot(arange(it))
instead of plot(arange(it))
or to call a second draw() after plotting.
regards Matthias

That also surprises me, but it is not specific to the qt4 backend, nor to
recent changes in svn. I see similar behavior with the gtkcairo backend in
0.91.2. Unfortunately, I dont have time to look into it further.

Can you explain what is happening in your code? First off, in pylab
mode this should be drawn 20 times, because in interactive mode plot
forces a draw and draw does too, so you should get 20 draws.
Secondly, ipython in pylab mode for some backends (Qt, GTK and WX) run
the GUI mainloop in a thread and I am not sure what will happen with
the "raw_input" which you expect to be blocking (it is not supported).
Folks have had various successes with getting blocking input for
matplotlib in interactive sessions, but Gael has made the most
progress. See the ginput function in svn
-- "ginput'' in pylab or matplotlib.pyplot
-- matplotlib.figure.Figure.ginput in the API
from pylab import arange, plot, sin, ginput, show
t = arange(10)
plot(t, sin(t))
print "Please click"
x = ginput(3, verbose=True)
show()

Hi John,
I guess it was for that reason (that the GUI mainloop runs in a
different thread) that I was expecting the draw to succeed.
Folks have had various successes with getting blocking input for
matplotlib in interactive sessions, but Gael has made the most
progress. See the ginput function in svn-- "ginput'' in pylab or matplotlib.pyplot
-- matplotlib.figure.Figure.ginput in the API
from pylab import arange, plot, sin, ginput, show
t = arange(10)
plot(t, sin(t))
print "Please click"
x = ginput(3, verbose=True)
show()
After looking at that code, I don't immediately see how a similar
approach could be used for retrieving keyboard input from the user while
still allowing MPL drawing in the same loop. But thank you for pointing
out that example.
Best Regards,
Glen Mabey
