Re: [Matplotlib-users] creating new plot after issuing show()

[matthew a. <ma...@ca...>]

I think you need to use threads. I'm only just learning how to use them 
myself. But have a look at:

http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/index.py?req=show&file=faq20.001.htp

and play with something like:

#!/usr/bin/python
# Trying to figure out how to use threads.
# This doesn't work, but I feel it is close.

import time
import thread
from matplotlib.matlab import *
import gtk

gtk.threads_init()
# gtk.mainloop()

figure(1)
plot([1,2,3,4,5,2])

print "figure 1"

gtk.threads_enter()
thread.start_new_thread(show, ())
gtk.threads_leave() 

time.sleep(2)

figure(2)
plot([1,2,3,4,5,2,10])

print "figure 2"

gtk.threads_enter()
thread.start_new_thread(show, ())
gtk.threads_leave() 

time.sleep(2)

...

Cheers,
Matthew.
