[Matplotlib-users] memory "leak" caused by canvas.draw()

[Russell E. O. <ro...@uw...>]

I explored the memory leak in my strip chart widget some more and found 
that it is caused by calling canvas.draw(), where canvas is:

figure = matplotlib.figure.Figure(figsize=(8, 2), frameon=True)
canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(figure, self)

canvas.show() exhibits exactly the same problem.

So...what is the right way to redraw a plot after its X axes have been 
changed?
