<p>Hi David</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Your suggestion of a loop within the python script did not work. I make 5k to 10k pngs,</p>
<p>and the process was killed at a few hundred.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Since my process is serial at the moment, my solution is that I take an input from a bash</p>
<p>script:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>import system</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>i = system(argv[1])</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>(or something similar). And my python is for 1 i that is read in.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>That gives me a consistent predictable (in terms of time it takes)</p>
<p>working of my visualisation.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>cheers</p>
<p>Sanjay<br>
