Hi all, I want to use matplotlib to plot in realtime the position of a microscope stage, read out over a serial connection. Essentially I reached my goal, starting from the example simple_idle_wx.py http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/animation/simple_idle_wx.html
Now I have two questions 1) I would like to stay independent of the backend, therefore I would prefer a approach like in idle_and_timeout http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/event_handling/idle_and_timeout.html However, with my default backend WXAgg I do not continuously idle events, but only once e.g. after each mouse movement. Can someone give me more information about the intended behaviour, current status and support of idle events? 2) I want to limit the lifetime of my connection object, that takes care of the communication with the microscope stage, so that the connection is closed if I close the matplotlib figure. I could not find a 'close_event'. To achieve this I could embed a matplotlib figure into a wx frame, but this is somewhat tediuos. For the wxagg backend, does somebody know a more simple solution? Do others also feel the need to add a close_event? In case, I could try to take care of the wx backend.
