Note: -np- mean ‘No-Process’ (that the words are not GiD process keywords) and instead the next command is expected to be Tcl code. It is used as a fast way to run a simple procedure or re-define code.
Use copy/paste code after -np-
In particular there are some predefined Tcl procs that run python code, like GiD_Python_Exec that expects the python code to be evaluated
Example: matplotlib graph of a line
This is a simple example of call from Tcl a Python code that uses the matplotlib to show a graph (in new Tk window opened by tkinter)

then will appear a window like this
