I am new to matplotlib and I am trying to get started with animation<br>
library.<br>
There is an example here for a simple strip chart:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://matplotlib.org/examples/animation/strip_chart_demo.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://matplotlib.org/<wbr>examples/animation/strip_<wbr>chart_demo.html</a><br>
<br>
I tried to use this example in a thread. I created a simple<br>
*threading.Thread* class, and in it's *run()* method, called:<br>
<br>
*ani = animation.FuncAnimation(fig, scope.update, emitter, interval=10,True)<br>
plt.show()*<br>
<br>
here is class:<br>
<br>
*<br>
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt<br>
import matplotlib.animation as animation<br>
<br>
class graph(threading.Thread):<br>
<br>
  def __init__(self, feeder):<br>
    threading.Thread.__init__(<wbr>self)<br>
    self.fig, <a href="http://self.ax" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">self.ax</a> = plt.subplots()<br>
    self.scope = Scope(<a href="http://self.ax" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">self.ax</a>)<br>
    self.feeder=feeder<br>
    self.running=True<br>
<br>
  def run(self):<br>
    while self.running:<br>
      ani = animation.FuncAnimation(self.<wbr>fig, self.scope.update,<br>
self.feeder.emit_ch1(), interval=1, blit=True)<br>
      plt.show()<br>
*<br>
but when I start this thread, it never shows the windows. Isn't this right<br>
usage?<br>
