Thank you very much Steve! This helped a lot, it worked in the ipython as well, 
there is no difference, only that the ipython is interactive and has more 
supplementary features. :)

Thanks, 
Tomislav

Subject: Re: [Matplotlib-users] plotting in a loop

 Hi,

 Sorry haven't used ipython, so not sure if there is another/better ipython way.

 Attached is how I solved it in normal python.
 I added a "next line" button to the graph, and set the ydata for the line each 
time the button is pushed.

 There is a couple of set_ylim lines commented out, depending on the nature of 
your data, it might be appropriate to uncomment one of those, however the 
set_aspect line may might mean the graph is very tall and skinny with the 
supplied data.

 Hope that gives you some ideas for your own code.

 Steve

 if I read a column file like this (simplified to integers):

 0 1 2 3
 1 2 3 4
 2 3 4 5
 3 4 5 6

with: "data = np.loadtxt("fileName")", why can't I use a for loop inside 
ipython (started with "-pylab" option) to plot each of the Line2D objects and 
then draw them on the plot? I am using matplotlib to debug a computational 
geometry code and I would like these lines to plot paused by the user input so 
that I can identify when (where) exactly the wrong calculations happen:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig1 = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig1.add_subplot(111)
ax1.set_aspect("equal")
for line in data:
 raw_input("press enter to plot the line")
 ax1.plot([line[0],line[2]],[line[1],line[3]],'b')
 plt.draw()


This way I could see with pressing e.g. the return key when my calculations go 
wrong.... any advice?
