Try adding "pl.clf()" or "pl.cla().
Without that, each call to imshow is adding an image without deleting 
the previous one.

Dear matplotlib users,
The following very simple script generate an explosion of ram memory :
from numpy import *
import pylab as pl
while 1:
 data = random.random((512,512))
 pl.imshow(data)
How is it possible to loop over imshow, without having this problem ?
Thanks in advance,
yves

For example, gifsicle or ImageMagick.

There is an example showing how to create an MPEG-4 movie here:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/animation/movie_demo.html
Creating an animated gif would just be a matter of using the correct third-party tool that can combine a set of image frames.

Subject: [Matplotlib-users] png to slideshow (gif)
If I have 30 PNGs and i would like to make a slideshow or an animated gif what is the best way to do this? Can matplotlib do this?

Hi everyone. I was trying to produce an irregular heat map broken down by day/weeks, as excellently shown here:
http://revolution-computing.typepad.com/.a/6a010534b1db25970b0120a63e9936970b-500wi
(source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2076370/most-underused-data-visualization)
How would you proceed to achieve such a result with matplotlib?
My initial idea was to use different images (one per year), by generating the pixels by manually binning my data. Then use imgshow with a different subplot for each year.
Then place ytics/xtics and the colorbar manually.
I'm wondering if there's a better way though. In this case ggplot2 is so succinct that makes me cringe.
Thanks.

If I have 30 PNGs and i would like to make a slideshow or an animated gif
what is the best way to do this? Can matplotlib do this?

My legend is going to have a series of entries that look like:
u=2,p=3
u=1,p=4
...
I want to add some (short) text that explains what u and p are.
I'm thinking to get the coordinates of the legend box so I can then annotate?
How would I get the coordinates of the legend box? Or is there some 
better/easier way to do what I want?
