Hi, I want to visualise a live data-stream by a number of plots (3d, line drawings, scatter plots etc). I've been using the simpler animation techniques (using gobject.idle_add and wx.EVT_IDLE to redraw updates).
Some plots have static backgrounds that may benefit from the blit techniques and I have been trying to get this approach to work in GTKAgg and WXAgg. GTKAgg on linux seems to be coming along fine. WXAgg on linux or macos, I'm not getting very far with. So can anyone help with a few questions? - can the native macos backend be used for animation? What's the equivalent of gobject.idle_add or gobject.timeout_add? Anything special needed for the blitting approach to work? - What needs to be done to get WXAgg blitting? I have code like this: ... matplotlib.use('WXAgg') ... def update(): ... # restore, blit etc wx.WakeUpIdle() ... wx.EVT_IDLE(wx.GetApp(), update) ... On Linux this draws the first screen and pauses. If I move the mouse around I see the updates. As soon as I stop, so do the updates. What am I missing? (BTW I get the same behaviour from animation_blit_wx.py from the examples page). This is 1.0.1 on Linux, although I'm still using 0.99.1 as well. thanks for any help, cheers, chris -- Chris Higgins, Omnisense Ltd, 3rd Floor, St. Andrews House, 59 St Andrews Street, Cambridge, CB2 3BZ Office: +44 (0) 1223 651394 Mobile: +44 (0) 780 490 8562 Skype: chiggins99 http://www.omnisense.co.uk Omnisense Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales.
