Description of work
Replacing canvas.draw() with canvas.draw_idle() to improve plotting performance.
Summary of work
In figuremanager.py replace canvas.draw with canvas.draw_idle() in the functions:-
Purpose of work
This is the first step to trying to resolve the issues as outlined in #37030 . It is one of the suggestions that has been made by super users. Initial testing suggests it will definitely make a difference but more testing with users is needed before we can say the original issue is resolved.
The plan is to test this a bit more and then get it merged in to see if it reduces the crashes being reported through Error Reporter.
Report to: see issue #37030 for more details
Notes from Jonathan/Core team
We think this PR will solve a lot of the plotting problems but not those described in #37030 which is based around the quantity of data plotted, we've seen similar problems in older version.
I have written up #37046 to describe the issue this PR will fix
To test:
See #37046
Fixes #37046
This does not require release notes because it is anticiapted more will need to be done to resolve the original issue and a release note for overall improvements will be added then.
