Dear Chris,

If you use the recent backend-independent animation code, you won't need those.
See examples/animation/simple_anim.py on github for an example (this code is
not yet in an official release). However, blitting won't work, so you'll need
to switch that off.
> Anything special needed for the blitting approach to work?
Currently it won't work with the MacOSX backend. For blitting to work with the
MacOSX backend, we won't just need changes to the backend code (which is
relatively straightforward) but also to the upstream
lib/matplotlib/animation.py code. We will need to rethink the logic of blitting
with animation, in particular when to store the figure to be blitted, and when
to do the actual blitting. In the current version of
lib/matplotlib/animation.py, the figure to be blitted gets stored after the
figure is modified but before the screen is updated. With the other backends,
this results in the unmodified figure being stored; with the MacOSX backend,
this results in the modified figure being stored, so if you then blit it you
will see an incorrect background.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
