[Matplotlib-users] show() Me the Way to Go Home (IDLE/Win)

[Wayne W. <sie...@sb...>]

Note the show() on the last line below. If I run this program from IDLE, 
it displays the graph, and sits there. I would like to finish, by 
getting to an active shell script. If I close the figure using x  in the 
upper right, it disappears. Now  two windows are seen. The code and 
script window. The script window is not active. I can't enter anything 
into it. The cursor is below the >>>. Ctrl-C doesn't work. If I use the 
x in the upper corner, eventually the script window disappears. How do I 
just return to the script? There ought to be a smooth way to do this by 
putting something after show().


import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
from pylab import figure, show
import numpy as np

# make an agg figure
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot([1,2,3])
ax.set_title('a simple figure')
fig.canvas.draw()
show()
