[Matplotlib-users] Windows defaults and the first example in the tutorial

[Darren D. <dd...@co...>]

I was thinking about the first example in the tutorial. On windows, TkAgg 
is the default backend, at least for the precompiled windows version. If 
Idle is run with -n, the show() command must be omitted, or the window will 
not render. Interactive2.py will try to render the window and then hang, as 
will pycrust. I think the first thing a newbie to matplotlib wants to do is 
open their favorite shell interface and make sure they can reproduce the 
first example in the tutorial.
