I have gotten that far the calculations take so long the rendering speed is not too important. I have been working on this and I got the subtitle to animate. My current problem involves the colorbar. When I update the contour graph and the titles the written over cleanly, but when the colorbar is redrawn it draws a second one right next to it. Reading other threads I tried the clf command but the makes the animation kludgy and it has to reshrink all of the graphs and such. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Animate-contour-plot-and-color-bar-tp22671942p22672958.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
