pgplotwidget.record

Save the drawing commands

Synopsis
record(newstate)

Description
This function gives you control of whether or not the plotting commands are saved in the internal display list or not. You might want to do this for efficiency concerns (e.g. the commands are coming frequently and contain a lot of pixels), or so that you can ``undraw'' some temporary plotting with a refresh.

The return value is the previous state of the function to make it easy to get back to the previous state.

Example

- pg.record(F); # Turn off saving plot commands
- ... temporary ``decoration''
- pg.refresh()  # Make the temporary stuff go away.
- pg.record(T)  # Start recording again

Arguments

newstate		Record or not?
		Allowed:	boolean

Returns
boolean - the former recording state
