Subject: ruby/tk and loop delay

I am writing a card game in ruby/tk.

I have a Tk_button(shuffle) that shuffles the cards and places them on a 
canvas.The shuffle works fine but I would like to have a slight delay 
between between each card being displayed on the canvas. Below is the 
shuffle buttons command. I would like to delay the loop each time so 
their is a slight delay. I have tried putting Tk.after(time)
{ part around the loop} but it just delays the shuffle and is not
visible. Not each card being displayed.  I need a little direction 
on implementing such a loop

thanks

 

shuffle.command do
   52.times do
              |i|
              
              nr = rand(56)
              nm = rand(56)             
              io = newhash[nr]
              im = newhash[nm]
 #            Tk.after(100) {                    
              place[nr].image  io
              newhash[nm] = io
              place[nr].image im
              newhash[nr] = im
 #             }                              
            end  

end
