Update plot by <Return> bind with entry widget
#1
Hey guys.. I need short hint:

I want to update my matplotlib plot after the user enters a number in Entry widget and hint <Return>.
I can create a default plot with default values, but somehow the graph does not update after changing the number and hitting <Return> again.

To check, if the bind works, I've created the printEntry() method. It will be called after calling the method to plot the graph. And this works!

Any suggestions ???
Thx you in advance.....


Here my code:
