numberOfSteps=100                       #Imagine the number of steps that want to be recorded are 100 steps

bz.RealTimeObj(plotmode=1, **kwargs)    #Create the Plot

for i in range(numberOfSteps):

     ops.analyze(1,0.01) #One step analysis
     bz.RealTimeUpdate(**RUkwargs)          #Update the created plot
