Use the gtk mainloop and do your figure updates in a timeout add or a idle handler (as suggested in the animation tutorial at http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Animations import gobject import numpy as np import matplotlib matplotlib.use('GTKAgg') import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig = plt.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) line, = ax.plot(np.random.rand(10)) ax.set_ylim(0, 1) def update(): line.set_ydata(np.random.rand(10)) fig.canvas.draw_idle() return True # return False to terminate the updates gobject.timeout_add(100, update) # you can also use idle_add to update when gtk is idle plt.show() ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
