[Gnuplot-py-users] close gnuplot window

[Jan-Hendrik H. <j-h...@tu...>]

Hi!

Gnuplot.py works fine on my machine (Ubuntu).
My Python-Gui (gtk) opens a Gnuplot Window and updates the plots from 
time to time.
Python can close the Gnuplot-Window by sending 'quit' to gnuplot.
If the user closes the Gnuplot-Window by clicking the X, the window will 
appear again, when the plots are updated.

Can a message (function call) be send from gnuplot to python, when the 
window is closed or can python observe the gnuplot window?

Best regards,

Jan

I don't know of a way to ask gnuplot to generate a notification that a
window has been closed.  Perhaps the Python program could use some
windows manager trickery to detect the closing of the window.
