Hi Chad,
I think the timeout is right over here:
class MyDynamicMplCanvas(MyMplCanvas):
"""A canvas that updates itself every second with a new plot."""
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
MyMplCanvas.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
timer = QtCore.QTimer(self)
QtCore.QObject.connect(timer, QtCore.SIGNAL("timeout()"),
self.update_figure)
timer.start(1000)
My suspicion would be to either bump up that timer to take more than a
second, or come up with a different signal function to more intelligently
handle refreshes.
Cheers!
