Hi, ok meanwhile I found out that this is a typical beginners error, sorry.
Nevertheless, using ion(), and ioff() together with draw() works fine. What I didn't find out up to now was the funtion ginput(n=1, timeout=30, show_clicks=True) which prevents me from killing the window after every plot, so thank you John Hunter-4. Before it was even not possible to move the focus to another window without crashing the application. Now all behaves as "expected". Thank you again.
