Hi Todd, thanks for the quick response. > I just tried this out and found that setting "interactive" to "True" in > C:\python23\share\matplotlib\.matplotlibrc obviated the need to use the > show() command. The plot then comes up as soon as you issue the plot() > command. Hm. Done that. A figure window pops up immediately but is not being updated correctly: a part of the graph is visible, the other part of the figure (which was underneath another window initially) appears white. The titel of the figure says "Figure 1 (Not responding)". IDLE, however, responds happily ;-) T > Multiple plotting-closing cycles worked fine in the same Idle > session. Good -- so this works at your machine, not at mine. The strange thing is that I installed WinXP from scratch just a few days ago on that machine, so it should be a fairly 'clean' environment. I take it there is no more recent version of matplotlib for windows (and Python 2.3) than 0.70.1?
