Re: [Matplotlib-users] Interactive backends very (suprisingly?) slow for multiple subplots

[keflavich <kef...@gm...>]

Since there don't seem to be any forthcoming answers, I have a somewhat
different question.  In the matplotlib FAQ, it states that using 'show()'
puts you in the GUI mainloop
(http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html#use-show).  However,
using plot commands on the ipython command line does not shut down the
command line generally.  I gathered from some googling that this is because
ipython starts up the matplotlib graphics in a different 'thread', but I
don't understand how this is done and most of what I've seen says it is bad.

So, my question now: How can I exit the GUI mainloop without closing the
graphics windows?

Thanks,
Adam
