We are on the Home strech and NEED help

Me and my team are almost to the finishing point. Our final problem is
getting the graph to update.

When we run the graph the get the following issue: "
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hello,

I'm not familiar with the draw_artist functionality, but for me there seems
to to be the following replacement needed (due to a typo):

self.ax.draw_artist(plt.contourf) -> self.ax.draw_artist(self.contour)

because otherwise you are trying to draw a matplotlib function, which seems to
be not reasonable and explains the error, because this function has no
attribute 'draw'.

Good luck.
best regards Matthias

Yes, that looks like the problem, but not the solution. self.contour
is the return value of ax.contourf, which is a ContourSet.
Unfortunately, the matplotlib.contour documentation has not yet been
ported to the sphinx/rest doc system (Eric, hint, hint). But you can
read the docs in the source of matplotlib/contour.py or in the python
shell with help matplotlib.countour.ContourSet. To do what it looks
like you are trying to do, if you want to force a draw on the contour
artists (which are matplotlib.collection.Collection instances), you
would do

  self.contour = ax.contourf(...)
  for col in self.contour.collections:
    ax.draw_artist(col)
