Re: [Matplotlib-users] Redisplay a figure after it was closed

[Benjamin R. <ben...@ou...>]

Pellegrini,

Sorry for the delay.  The answer is that, unfortunately, it is not possible
to reshow a figure after closing it, even if you still have the figure
object.  Because of GUI backends, the close action destroys some GUI objects
that were created when the figure was created.  Therefore, a reshow can not
work.  This isn't really a bug or a feature, but a consequence of the GUI
interaction.

I don't know if it is possible to still pull out the axes objects and insert
them into a new figure, has anybody investigated that possibility?
