[Question #697523]: When adding O.wait(), the graphical interface is black

 

New question #697523 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/697523

I set a target porosity as a stop criterion and used O.run() to run simulation. In order to avoid the influence of the later Python code, I added O.wait(). However, after adding this command, the graphical interface will be black until it reaches the stop criterion. Is there any way to make the graphical interface display graphics.
Another question, when I run my code, the following warning appears:
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py:831: MatplotlibDeprecationWarning: axes.color_cycle is deprecated and replaced with axes.prop_cycle; please use the latter.
  mplDeprecation)
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py:801: MatplotlibDeprecationWarning: axes.color_cycle is deprecated and replaced with axes.prop_cycle; please use the latter.
  mplDeprecation)
Why does this happen?
Here is my code:
