利用生成器函数（关键字yield），您可以暂停代码中间循环的执行，以花时间显示已更改的画布元素，更新计算等，然后在next反复调用生成器时恢复执行，直到排序完成。

我在代码中添加了一些注释，但是最好的方法可能是凝视它，直到您确信自己可以按预期工作为止。这是您需要了解的一种模式，因为它对构造您想要构建的动画非常有用。

    Bar1x1, _, Bar1x2, _ = canvas.coords(pos_0)
    Bar2x1, _, Bar2x2, _ = canvas.coords(pos_1)
    canvas.move(pos_0, Bar2x1-Bar1x1, 0)
    canvas.move(pos_1, Bar1x2-Bar2x2, 0)
