[solved] Plots generated by matplotlib to show on canvas in OpenSesame.

  I tried to make it as an image first and bring it out to canvas, but it did not work well.

  matplotlib cannot draw directly on an OpenSesame canvas, so this would indeed be the way to go. I did this once, and it worked. One quirk was that matplotlib seemed to steel the window focus, so you had to click in the OpenSesame window to continue the experiment. Other than that it worked fine. What kind of problems are you running into?

  Hi,

  The most 'OpenSesame way' to show a plot would indeed be through canvas.image() I think; although there is a much easier and more direct way to present random dots on a canvas. In an inline_script, you could do the following:

     import random
     canvas = canvas(exp)
  
     for i in range(0, randint(1,1000)):  #runs loop between 1 and 1000 times
             canvas.fixdot(x=randint(-512,512), y=randint(-384, 384))
  
     canvas.show()
  

  Does that help?

  Cheers,

  Josh
