hi there, I've got a bit stuck with running matplotlib in interactive mode. maybe what I want to do can't be done easily.
want I want is a simple python script which I can run with a file argument. this will then create some plots. the script will wait for user input (via sys.stdin.readline()), use the input to adjust a threshold and replot my plots. after the user is satisfied with the thresholds the script exit the loop and will perform other processing. Basically I'm trying to get a simple interactive program with plots but without having use wxpython or simliar I have been trying to test the potting part of this. I have successfully set interactive mode on and from the python interpreter I can plot and I see my plots and updates to them without needing to use pyplot.show(). when I run the same scripts by using 'python scriptname.py' I don't see the plots unless I use pyplot.show(). my simple test script is as follows ############ #test interactive matplotlib plotting import numpy as np import sys import matplotlib.pylab as pyp a=np.array([0,4,5,5,3,4,5]) pyp.figure() pyp.plot(a) #pyp.show() input=sys.stdin.readline() pyp.xlabel('my xlabel %s' %input) input=sys.stdin.readline() any help much appreciated -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/matplotlib-in-interactive-mode-from-a-script-tp29023641p29023641.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
