Maybe I have reinvented the wheel, but I find the attached code snippet
very useful.
I have modified a bit the recipe at
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65222
to be used in the following situation:
You plot (interactively) something in a main program, which than works
heavily. Normally, when the figure window gets obscured, it will not
redraw. The attached code shows how to make a thread that periodically
redraws the figure.
