Ok, very good. However, it does not seem to have effect. Consider
the following example:
#
import numpy
from numpy.testing.utils import memusage
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('GTKAgg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
axes1 = fig.add_subplot( 111 )
def animate():
x = [0]
while 1:
y = numpy.random.rand (len (x))
if 1:
# updating line in place
if not axes1.lines:
line, = axes1.plot(x, y, 'b')
else:
line.set_data(x, y)
# relim does not have effect in updating axes
axes1.relim()
else:
# demonstrates expected behaviour, has leakage w/o Mike patch
for line in axes1.lines:
line.remove()
line, = axes1.plot(x, y, 'b')
fig.canvas.draw()
print memusage ()/(1024.0*1024.0),"MB", len (axes1.lines), len(x)
x.append(x[-1]+1)
import gobject
print 'adding idle'
gobject.idle_add(animate)
print 'showing'
plt.show()
#eof
While the new data is plotted correctly, the plot shows fixed axes
from the first plot call. What I am doing wrong?
