Mike, On my machine, with pcolor from the trunk: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ python pcolortest2.py init: 2.0 fps: 0.287026406429
And substituting pcolormesh for pcolor: init: 0.27 fps: 5.48245614035 Now that's more like it! Using image can be another order of magnitude faster than pcolormesh (but with limitations, of course). I suspect nonuniform image code is intermediate, but it is a long time since I have tried it.
