[Matplotlib-users] Verifying the Use of show()? Win XP

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

I'm sure not making much progress on understanding show(). When used in 
XP in IDLE or by file execution (click on file name), it seems to tie up 
the executing program.  In IDLE, the shell window stops and one must 
exit the window.

I'd appreciate it if someone could take any examples from 
<http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/index.html> and try to execute them 
as in the first paragraph to see if they terminate successfully.Let me 
know what OS used, hopefully XP, and if you used IDLE or file execution. 
I suspect you will find every example there ends with show(). Try 
putting a print statement after show() you've done it with the show() 
the last line.
