Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib FuncAnimation hanging issue

[Colin M. <cj...@co...>]

Hi Tony, thanks for the reply.

I was using 1.2.0 and just upgraded to 1.2.1 but the problem persists.  
I ran the example code from the link and it hangs after 350-400  
frames. Also, I got an error when running the code as it is posted and  
had to add:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("Agg")

to get it to work. Is this an incorrect setting I'm using?
