[Gnuplot-py-users] "drawing done" - callback?

[Ole C. W. <ole...@ae...>]

Hi gnuplot.py-users

I'm developing a small Python program which creates a gnuplot command 
stack out of large time-based scientific 1D and 2D datasets. Every 
gnuplot command on the stack represents a frame of an animation and you 
have some player-like Tk-controls to start/stop the animation and step 
through it. When you press "play" a slider moves from left to right on 
tick (after a adjustable delay) for every frame and triggers gnuplot.py 
to render the data.
Although gnuplot is quite fast with rendering, sometimes the amount of 
point-data for a single frame is too huge and rendering takes longer 
than the given delay between to frames. Result: the slider moves faster 
than gnuplot can render - and this is ugly...
So my question is: is there any callback mechanism implemented in 
gnuplot.py which is fired every time gnuplot is done with rendering? If 
not, would it be easy to implement it or do you have any other ideas 
that could solve my problem?

Thanks & Regards,

Ole
