Re: [Matplotlib-users] spawning plots as separate processes

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

Bill,

Thanks for your reply. pylab(ion) is not what I meant. Consider this simply
script -
.....
# simple.py
from pylab import *
plot([1,2,3])
show()
....

Now, if I do python simple.py on a cmd prompt, this will open up a plot
window, but the script won't return until the plot window is closed.
I would like simple.py process to end but the plot window to be still up. I
have users who would like to type one command after
another and not have to close any of the plot windows created.

I looked at ezplot, but it looks like a rather heavy weight soln, but maybe
I need to do something similar. Is there any other way around this?

Thanks,
ss
