This is a sketch illustrating one method of allowing one to use the OO interface in interactive mode. It involves adding three methods to the Figure and Axes classes, and then using a decorator for any method in those classes that should have a draw_if_interactive behavior. Typically this would include all such methods that are wrapped in pyplot. In the initial version of this PR, this is illustrated with
Figure.suptitle
,Figure.text
,Axes.plot
, andAxes.errorbar
. Print statements are presently left in to show how the system works; in particular, note that even thougherrorbar
callsplot
, the drawing operation is executed only once, so there is no significant loss of efficiency compared to the present pyplot function. A simple illustration in ipython is:
