If you are running mpl from the development tree on github, I suggest you use the new animations API, which hides much of the complexity. See https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/tree/master/examples/animation If you are running a released mpl, you can simply drop the animation.py file into your PYTHONPATH and use it directly https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/animation.py Hope this helps, JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
