This worked brilliantly! Thank you so much!

Secondary question now, is this:
I have a contourf and a polygon made with

ax.add_collection3d(a3.art3d.Poly3DCollection(verts, facecolors=[.5,.5,.5],
linewidths=1,edgecolor='k',zorder=0))

How do I change it so the contourf is on top of the polygon? By default it
seems to plot the polygon on top. I tried zorder but that did nothing.

Hi

thanks for the help, this is exactly what I needed. I updated the code in my
app and it worked.

Some minor observations though :
- This does not play well with tight_layout. I think tight_layout tries to
readjust the plots even after the singleShot call. So I needed to disable
it.
- I have plots in multiple tabs (in a QtGui.QTabWidget()). When moving from
one tab to another, I update the plots. I had to set the delay to 50 ms (on
faster computers the delay could be made smaller). 0 ms is too short in this
specific case and the copy_from_bbox will copy the background of the
previous tab.
- I have to work on the resizing of the window. I have to catch the
resizeEvent in the plot and update it to get a new fresh background. Don't
know what's the best solution for this.

Thanks very much for the singleShot trick, this was very helpful.
