RE: [Matplotlib-users] how to make matplotlib faster?

[Perry G. <pe...@st...>]

In thinking about the ioff(), ion() approach it occurs to me that
it may not be quite so simple for scripts. I think a common 
desire is for a script or function to turn off interactive mode
if it is on, but at the end, restore the previous interactive 
state. In this case a push/pop approach to interactive mode may
be more appropriate rather than stop/start. In particular, if 
interactive mode happended to be off, you wouldn't want to turn
it on at the end of the script.
