Are you sure that's threadsafe? With most windowing toolkits it's not safe to do GUI things from threads other than the main one. Other threads can only post a message to the main GUI thread. Depending on how fig.canvas.draw is implemented, calling it from another thread might not be kosher. But I take it you haven't seen any meltdowns so far, so maybe its implementation does the threadsafe message posting thing. --bb On 3/22/07, Robert Cimrman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Maybe I have reinvented the wheel, but I find the attached code snippet > very useful. > I have modified a bit the recipe at > http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65222 > to be used in the following situation: > > You plot (interactively) something in a main program, which than works > heavily.
