It would really be nice if in animation mode, the mpl windows had automatically a play/pause toggle at the very least, so that regular users could get more functional animations without having to wire these extra tricks. I now see there's even a pause() call: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/148 so it seems like it should be an easy matter of adding the button and wire it to pause().

Best of luck. Having burned many hours on the ipython/matplotlib event loop integration over the years, I don't envy you right now if you're going to fight this little battle... But I'll happily cheer you from the safety of the sidelines :) Cheers, f ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
