Hi-
Thanks very much. My "more detailed explanation" seems to have
confused the issue. Here is a more detailed, more detailed explaation:
The principal program calculates the state of a 3-"spin" assembly,
each spin can either be up or down - there are, accordingly, 8 possible
states. The spins "flip" singly and randomly, as described in the Cornell
ArXiV 0912.4068 (gen phys). I have prepared .jpg's showing the 8 possible
configurations. When the principal program calculates a new
configuration, I would like to show the relevant .jpg.
There are undoubtedly a plethora of ways to illustrate the process
I am discussing. Did I choose one that is too difficult for a simple
python progam?
Regards,
Jack

In answer to your question,
this is a simulation. The "events" are program generated; I'm trying to
approximate a Poisson process, so the times between event pairs are
exponentially distributed.
Hi!
It seems to me that you are consistently trying out wrong tools for the
job. Maybe next time you should really start by explaining what you want
to achieve in the first place?
What you really need is pygame. It is a simple Python SDL wrapper, that
is absolutely great to use for simulations visualization. This is the
code you need to get what you want:
# Center window on the screen
os.environ["SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED"] = "1"
pygame.init()
pygame.display.set_mode(self.screen_size, 0)
screen = pygame.display.get_surface()
# CYCLE
# Create the backgound
background = pygame.image.load(fullpath)
background = background.convert()
# Display the background
screen.blit(background, (0, 0))
pygame.display.flip()
I have written a 2D n-body problem simulator that I used as teaching
material for a Python course this spring, so if you want a more complete
example I can send it to you, but either way, I think it's better off
this list.
