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 thougherrorbarcallsplot, 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:
