Prevent the display being closed when a function returns

[CsatiZoltan]

I separated my visualization functionality to a separate function, like this:

from OCC.Display.SimpleGui import init_display

def core:
    # Set up a `TopoDS_Shape` object, called `shape`
    # ...
    # Call the plotting function
    plot_shape(shape)

def plot_shape(shape):
    display, start_display, add_menu, add_function_to_menu = init_display()
    display.DisplayShape(shape, update=True)
    input("Press Enter to continue...")

The last line is there to prevent the figure from being closed. However, this is not a good solution because

• the program termination is paused
• I cannot focus on the figure, so I cannot rotate, zoom, pan, etc.

try;

def plot_shape(shape):
    display, start_display, add_menu, add_function_to_menu = init_display()
    display.DisplayShape(shape, update=True)
    start_display()

@efirvida Thanks, that works. However, the execution is suspended until I keep the window open. Is there a way to make the display independent of the main program thread?
