of you (whoever sees this first) forward this message to matplotlib-dev,
I can still receive post coming from there.

I am really sorry to ask you such a service.

Thanks a lot,

Subject: Good method for updating an imshow plot

Hi,

This does not belong to the devel mailing list, but to the users, but I
cannon subscribe to the users, as my SMTP is black listed by SpamCop
(screw them, the server isn't sending a single spam).

My question is: what is the correct way to plot a matrix with an imshow,
and then update this matrix on the plot. I am more interested by the mpl
way of doing this, rather than the pylab way. The idea would be to
replace the following pylab commands by something cleaner that would
involve recreating axes:

imshow(z1)
clf()
imshow(z2)

Cheers,

Gaël
