something isn't working In my main routine I have xpt,ypt= m(lons[0:500],lats[0:500]) outlines=m.plot(xpt,ypt,'r-') #m is my basemap, outlines is a list of size 1. Huh?
then in my update routine I have counter=0 def update(): global counter xpt,ypt= m(lons[counter*500:(counter+1)*500],lats[counter*500:(counter+1)*500]) counter += 1 outlines[0].set_data(xpt,ypt) canvas.draw_idle() return True but this produces strange results. After a few iterations the line disappears completely. Is it wrong to use lists when I get xpt and ypt?
