"plot" command acting strange

0 votes

Hi everyone

some months ago I began modeling with fenics and I solved the heat equation using time-stepping algorithms. I visualized my solution simply by using "plot" e.g. plot(u) and for every time-step the new plot did "override" the old one.
Now, for some reason, however, whenever I do the same two plot-windows appear and the solution "alternates" between them which makes it difficult to observe.

So my question is, what's the reason for this sudden oddly behavior??

See this

this may help you. This way you can save your plots as png files.
