You can create an class to store these values with a method to handle the callback, eg. (untested code):
class KeyHandler: def __init__(self): self.ImageNumber = 0 def OnKeyPress(self, event): self.ImageNumber += 1 key_handler = KeyHandler() plt.connect('key_press_event', key_handler.OnKeyPress) Mike On 12/11/2010 07:24 PM, John wrote: > Hi all, > I have set up an event handler and function to perform actions when a > user presses certain keys in the plot window.
