[Matplotlib-users] spawning plots as separate processes

[signal s. <see...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I am very new to matplotlib and still trying to find my way through docs and
api, so please excuse me if there is a simple way to do this.

So the situation is this  - I would like to write a script that spawns
multiple
plots and exits, but the plots window do not die until they are
explicitly closed.
Is there a simple way to do this. All the examples that I have looked
at so far have scripts that only exit once the call to show() returns.
Is there some mechanism that
matplotlib provides to make the show() return? I am of course using the
pylab interface now, but I can start using the core matplotlib api if need.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Regards,
-ss
