Hi thanks for the help, this is exactly what I needed. I updated the code in my app and it worked.
Some minor observations though : - This does not play well with tight_layout. I think tight_layout tries to readjust the plots even after the singleShot call. So I needed to disable it. - I have plots in multiple tabs (in a QtGui.QTabWidget()). When moving from one tab to another, I update the plots. I had to set the delay to 50 ms (on faster computers the delay could be made smaller). 0 ms is too short in this specific case and the copy_from_bbox will copy the background of the previous tab. - I have to work on the resizing of the window. I have to catch the resizeEvent in the plot and update it to get a new fresh background. Don't know what's the best solution for this. Thanks very much for the singleShot trick, this was very helpful.
