Re: [Gnuplot-py-users] keep plot open after program close?

[Forrest I. <for...@be...>]

I'm trying to do the opposite -- I'm using hardcopy() to write the plots to
file, so *I'd like to have the gnuplot window close after Python finishes
executing*.

I'm using the X11 terminal (I'm working on a Mac, and aquaterm isn't
cooperating).
Regardless of whether I do gp = Gnuplot.Gnuplot(*persist = 1*) or *persist
= 0*, the old Gnuplot windows stay open, and I often end up with tons of
open windows.

I'd be *satisfied* if we could just have the Gnuplot windows close after
Python finishes executing.
It'd be *even better* if I could have Python close all figures from
previous runs, but keep the figure open from the most recent Python
execution. In other words, I'm looking for the Matlab `close all hidden`command.

Thanks,
Forrest

>g = Gnuplot.Gnuplot(persist=True) , if your platform supports it.
