I've got a series of subplots in a matplotlib.FigureCanvas instance which is embedded in a gtk viewport. Everything seems to work correctly when I start the application - i.e. the series of subplots are displayed. But, I need to be able to interactively change the axis settings by clicking on GTK buttons. I have not yet figured out how to make the subplots redraw after changing the axis settings.

Based on the dynamic_image_gtkagg.py example, I have done the following (code not complete here):

f = Figure(figsize=(5,4), dpi=100)

canvas = FigureCanvas(f)

manager = pylab.get_current_fig_manager()

and later, when I need to redraw the subplots:

manager.canvas.draw()

But, although I have confirmed that the axis settings are changed, the subplots are not redrawn using the new settings.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
