[SciPy-User] How to draw an image in fltk from numpy array?

[Andy Fraser]

I've done some more looking around and found answers to my own
questions.  The key was to fetch the source for pyfltk from
http://pyfltk.sourceforge.net/index.php#download and look at the
examples (in particular draw.py) in pyFltk-1.1.4/fltk/test.

I don't understand why, but after removing the line:

canvas.draw()

from my code, it ran.  The code also runs if the first argument to
fl_draw_image is bits rather than bits.data.

I include some of my question for context.
